Anyone else experienced weird side effects from Besivance 0.6% eye drops?
So I was prescribed Besivance 0.6% for a severe case of pink eye. I've been using it for a few days now, and while it seems to be working, I've had some pretty strange side effects. I've read that changes in eyesight and eye pain can happen, but what about the others? Have any of you experienced anything unexpected or unusual? I just want to know if I'm alone in this or if this is a common experience.
I didn't have any side effects but I heard that people have had issues. I think you should report this. You can report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-332-1088 or online at https://www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Besivance can be a lifesaver for pink eye, but it's not for everyone. I hope your doctor can find something that works better for you!
I had some crazy side effects too—my vision went all blurry and I was seeing halos around lights. It was terrifying.
I think everyone responds differently to medication. I didn't have any side effects but I know people who have had severe reactions. Sorry you are going through this, but it seems like you are taking the right steps to get help.
Dang, that sounds rough. Hope you feel better soon! And yeah, definitely keep your doctor updated—safety first!
I had a similar experience with Besivance. I knew that eye pain could happen but it wasn't until I started using it that I realized how bad it could get. I was 100% sure that I had to call the doctor.
I had a minor rash but didn't think much of it until it got bad. I guess I ignored it for too long and now I feel terrible. Don't make the same mistake!
