    I was prescribed this medication for both eyes, due to 'pink eye' which came on suddenly. Within 12 hours I noticed relief from the redness, itching and gritty-burning sensation. The only side-effect that I noticed is the BAD taste, which could be good for someone not wanting to eat during the holidays... Published: December 24, 2007 ::

    This medication has greatly assisted me in saving my eyes in many situations including ongoing after effects of Stevens Johnson syndrome, maintaining cornea transplants during healing, and fighting effects of steroids in the other eye also used during healing of cornea transplants.

    I was prescribed this eye drop due to "pink eye." As soon as I used the drops, the inflammation and the redness in my eye decreased. After 12 hours my eye looked only bloodshot; the excessive eye watering decreased as well. Published: December 22, 2007 ::

    Mysterious inflammation in right eye for several days, cleared up in 24 hours with these drops although I used them for several more days! Inflammation did not seem like regular "pink eye" infection, just very red and semi-painful right eye. Did not spread to left eye. Great product! Published: December 14, 2008 ::

    We have no idea how this worked since the doctor put this in my mother's eye during a cornea transplant. She was charged 807.00 for one dose and Medicare refused to pay and she had to pay for the entire amount. Published: March 11, 2009 ::

    I had adult strabismus surgery on one eye and was prescribed tobradex post operatively. I used it three times a day for five days. I noticed my eyelid was red, hot and swollen and my eye was extremely itchy. An assistant in my dr.s office ! Published: February 28, 2008 ::

    Funny...in the US the price for 5ml is more than 130 dollars. Bought 5 of these bottles in Brazil for 18 dollars each. WHY are these so darn expensive in the US. No wonder noone can afford healthcare in the US. Published: May 31, 2009 ::
