    This medication cleared up the puffiness, red eye and puss within just a few hours. However, being on day 4 of a 5 day dosage I have noticed some hives on the face and stomach. I will definitley be lettibng the Dr know.

    My comment is why a tiny 3ML antibiotic needs to cost $107. My 2 year old has this eye infection for the second time and he was prescribed this Vigamox again. Unfortunatelly there was no generic and the insurance didn't cover. Really? can't they have another company making this prescription for less? This is not a drug for cancer, or anything like that... Very disapointed with the price fo ... Show Full Comment

    My 1 year old daughter has pink eye and was prescribed Vigamox. Within 4 hours after the first dose the redness and swelling were completely gone! The cost was originally $100 but THANK GOODNESS for my insurance..which in the end I only had to pay $30. I would highly recommend this medicine to anyone who has pink eye!(as long as you have good insurance of course)

    I'm a 30 year old male and caught pink eye at a family party. It took around three days for my symptons to clear up but I also developed a bad rash on my ankles that may be vasculitis. I've could only find one other case of this online so I wanted to document it. If I'm unfortunate enough to get pink eye again I will be using a different medication.
