My Zymar has been great I also had an ulcer of the cornea (caused by contact lenses), and this product cleared it up in just a couple of days. You probably shouldn't use it all the time, but occasionally when I get an eye infection (I have very sensitive eyes) a little drop and the redness clears up. I would definately recommend this to anyone. Published: November 06, 2008 ::

Zymar was prescribed to me for post op cataract surgery. After a few doses, I noticed my face to be red and breaking out in welt like hives or blemishes. I contacted my on call doctor who changed my medication to tobramycin which I used with no further problems. I found a reference for this type of allergic reaction on pdrhealth.com, but no where else. I have had no previous allergies to medications. Published: January 11, 2009 ::

After suffering severe adverse reactions (immediate and delayed) to zymar ophtalmic which had been prescribed by the opthamologist as a pre-cataract surgery prophylactic use, I learned much later through the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) that Zymar was contraindicated for women of my age with specific prior conditions. This gatifloxicin product caused several severe ruptures/tears in my shoulder, QT prolongation abnormalities, which adverse reactions led to 2 years physical therapy, and a surgery. My advice: be extremely cautious about getting all the facts about gatifloxacin before taking it. Advocate for yourself by asking specific questions and getting specific information about contraindications before taking this drug. Published: September 28, 2007 ::
