if you buy this OTC it is less than $20 however I filled it at Walmart Pharmacy and it was $90---treated 1 eye with 1 drop and 2 hours later I now have a cough so I won't be using anymore of it...I don't recommend this to anyone because it has too many side affects.

Used to relieve itchy watery eyes due to allergies. Relief almost instantly. Woke up next morning with swollen lower eye-lids that are painful to the touch. Will try another brand, side effect not worth it.

Well as some of you may know you can buy this over the counter now. So much cheaper. First drop I had instant relief! I was so excited to stop itching finally. As for long-term use I'll have to get back to you cuz today was my first day. Hope you all get some relief for your itchiness as I have.

Worked great for my 8 year old. However after using for a solid 2 weeks 2x a day... he developed an extreme headache. It was slight and came on very intensely in a matter of minutes. Also had dizziness too. So now what for allergy season??
