Comment:
This medication is very thick and hard to administer. Received 3 different eye drops after eye surgery. All were 5ml bottles. I have ran out of the Besivance far quicker than the others. Cost is expensive.

Comment:
Had cataract surgery. This is a drug that is on a very few, if any, formularies. A very small bottle (5 ml) is supposed to hold 37 drops. Not a chance. MANUFACTURER'S (Bausch+Lomb) Discount coupon "reduced" price from $176. to $71. BUT NO REFILLS UNTIL WELL AFTER DRUG IS GONE. REFILL COST = $176.00.

I had an inflamed tear duct and the Dr. flushed it out and gave me a sample of the Besivance to use. From the first use I felt awful. Terrible taste in mouth,eye redness, nausea,and just feeling unwell. I didn't connect my symptoms to the eye drops until two small pills which I take daily got caught in my throat and it took me forever to get them down. This was only after two days of use. I
