Comment:
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?

TO ALL PERSONS COMPLAINING OF TROUBLES WITH DROPS, ATTENTION: Each & every medication given to anyone, remember the doctor is doing an EXPERIMENT on each person. 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.

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.
