This medication caused my sinus to begin draining, itchy ears, and a severe rash to my face after only one dose. I would not recommend using it.

I used this drug one day and my eye burned, ached and watered profusely all that night. Called my doctor and he called in a new prescription which worked with no side effects at all. This is a generic and cheap and I won't use it again!

My daughter was prescribed this medication for pink eye. After administering 2 doses of the drops her eyelid and under eye became very swollen and red. She complained about the pain in her eye from the drops. I would not recommend this medication to anyone!!!
