Retina detachment-used for 1st 6 wks in decreasing drops. Then told to continue for 2 more mos. Went back yesterday & Dr changed to other eye drops. Finally realized it had to be the drops causing a terrible, wheezing, consistent cough. Don't want to be around &annoy anyone. Anxious to start different drops today. Couldn't take anymore of this cough. Couldn't talk, laugh, sing, etc or it would begin a coughing fit. Didn't have rash or itching thank goodness. I have increased abdomen fat. & have been agitated for no reason. Glad to hear holding the inside (tear duct) will keep med out of system. I thought it was just recommended. The taste is awful-I use it after I eat breakfast & at bedtime & drink lots of water. It does make me nauseated.but, I felt I had to use it. The dr said if the new drops continue my cough and wheezing, he could give me a shot that lasts for 3 mos but it's very costly & he has to get authorization.?? He has a Retina Speciality Clinic & people come from all over. Fortunately I live in the same town. I hope my cough goes away.

Detached retina surgery 2 years ago resulting in blindness. But the eye continues to be red and painful.Started this drug 3 days ago resulting in severe itching, hives,and wheezing. Finally settled down after repeated doses of anti-histamines. Dr.says there shouldn't be pain of the eyeball and the drug doesn't cause that kind of reaction. One dose and I'M itching again.

This was my 3rd eye surgery and 3rd time using this drug. The taste in my mouth is awful and using this drug. I too have gained inches in my waist.

The reason I need to take this longer is because of my corn ... Show Full Comment

I have been using this medication for 3 months after my cornea surgery. The biggest problem I am having is I am extremely itching and am getting raised red bumps over my body (legs, chest, arms). Must take Benadryl 3-4 times a day. Very annoying

Following SLT surgery for Glaucoma in my right eye, I was prescribed with these drops.. I was told to use for 4 days only. Had nasty sting in the eye following surgery, next day felt much better. Feel completely normal after 5 days. No after effects after drops so I guess they did what they were supposed to do.
