After a week of using a different eye drop without clearing out my pink eye completely, this one hasn't either. The swelling went down after 2 doses, redness took about 6. But still after 5 days I'm still waking up with matted eyes and my eyes are still extremely itchy.

Went to my doctor on my second day with pink eye. My left was almost swollen shut (both top and bottom lids) and a couple hours after my first dose the swelling already went down a lot. With one day of use so far, my swelling is completely gone and symptoms have subsided aside from a little bit of redness. Everyone reacts differently to meds but its been quite effective for me.

So thanks to daycare, my 3 year old..5 year old..and myself got pink eye. Right away I suspected it because my eyes were itchy and my son's started having drainage. We went immediately to the doctor and were all 3 prescribed this. So far so good..no negative effects for anyone. My eyes feel a tad bit dry and my nasal passages as well but nothing too bad. Tomorrow is the last day and I was tha
