Has anyone had experience with Sulfacetamide Na 10% Oph Soln 15ml for pink eye? What are the worst side effects to look out for?

I was prescribed Sulfacetamide eye drops for a bacterial infection in my eye. The prescription label came with a long list of potential side effects, but it didn't really explain what's likely to happen. Has anyone else used these eye drops? What were the side effects like? I'm particularly worried about the more severe side effects listed.

I had a bad reaction to these drops. I got a rash and some blistering, which was scary. Had to go to the ER. Turns out I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. I had no idea these eye drops contained that stuff.

I used these drops and got some irritation, but nothing too bad. I'm guessing the burning and stinging are common. As long as you don't have any of the serious side effects, they should be fine.

I had a similar experience. I got some redness and irritation at first, but it cleared up quickly. As for the more serious side effects, I didn't experience any.

I've used these drops a few times and never had any issues. They work well for bacterial conjunctivitis, in my experience. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully.

I used these drops for a nasty case of pink eye. The burning and stinging were pretty bad at first, but they went away after a few days. No serious side effects for me!

I had the worse burning sensation when I started using these drops. It went away after a couple of days, though. It was really bad, but it sure beats having pink eye for a long time. I'm glad I didn't have any serious side effects.

I had some eye discharge when I used these. I thought it was normal, but it could have been a sign of a bad reaction. I'm glad I didn't have any real problems.

My doctor told me these drops can cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a severe skin reaction. It's rare, but you should be aware of the risk. This is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition.
