It's so expensive even though pharmacy requires prior authorization from ins co for Medicare to pay. Insurance did pay all but 15.00. I find this quite criminal to charge so much for a few tiny drops and I'm not sure if I need more in eyes but don't want to use too much. Is there gold in the solution?

After months of using this drug it began to exacerbate my eye problem. I stopped using for 2-3 months and experienced gradual improvement. I have recently had a flare up and tried Lastacaft again. My eyes burned horribly, became very red and the clear eye membrane swelled up. It was an obvious and dramatic reaction to the drops.

I was given this as a prescription by my eye doctor. It is prohibitively expensive and through my insurance I had to pay $50 for a tiny bottle. It did seem to work well the first time I used it two months ago. In the past few days I had the same allergic conjunctivitis symptoms and used again. My eyes are so red and inflamed it is scary. I called my allergist after hours and they are calling in a ... Show Full Comment

It did seem to work well the first time I used it two months ago. In the past few days I had the same allergic conjunctivitis symptoms and used again. My eyes are so red and inflamed it is scary. I called my allergist after hours and they are calling in a prescription for Pataday for me but suggested I call the office tomorrow and make an appointment to be seen because I may need steroidal drops to clear this up. Waste of money and will never use this drug again.

No one on earth knows how each person will react to a medication. Doctors pray & hope that you react as most normal react, & have a good reaction. BUT, bad things can also happen. If you cannot predict or tell your doctor how your eye will react, neither can a doctor. So let us all pray & hope for the best.

Comment:
Drops are good but Allergan should be embarrassed to charge the prohibited amount for this tiny container which holds maybe 10 drops at best! The box it comes in could fit about 3 of these tiny containers. It is a disgrace. We have a great rx plan and still paid $25.00.
