Besivance is wildly expensive, as are the other 2 medications required for my cataract surgery, pre and post surgery.

I had an allergic reaction after two drops - my ring finger and ear lobes got swollen & itched. Removed gold jewlery Dr. never heard of such a reaction. Stopped drops. Took bnaydryl which helped itching. Now trying Polymyxin B Sulfate. After two drops - no reaction yet. Will report back. Taken due to pre cataract surgery.

Used with prolensa after cataract surgery. After using it twice I broke out in hives on my head, face and neck. Paid $60 for 2 drops.

This medication was used following cataract surgery. It is very thick, and did not last for the entire treatment period. The cost is outrageous! Medicare formulary, even with additional drug coverage, does NOT cover this medication.

Used to prevent infection after eye surgery. All went quite well and I had no ill affects from Besivance.
