Comment:
Used after cataract surgery. Caused severe itching and hives. Opthamologist doubted it was caused by this medication and prescribed again one month after surgery and itching and hives were getting better. As soon as I started the dosage the itching started right up. Stopped using immediately.

Comment:
Prescribed for pre and post cataract surgery. Horrible aftertaste. Increases appetite. Concerned about side effects- delay healing and increase eye pressure.

Question: Does this drug have cocaine or opiate remnants in it? The drain down the back of the throat makes me ask this question.
