Reviews
| Add Alrex review I have chronic inflammation due to several conditions and it really works for me. I tried a generic medicine but it didn't work. Only thing bad about Alrex is the cost. | Add Zylet review I was prescribed this medicine for a contact abrasion on my eye. I developed severe pain in my eye when taking it during the 5 days I was instructed to. The pain lasted over a month and I went to a different doctor for an evaluation. He said my eyes were healthy and could not explain the pain. I finally brought the medicine to my allergist, who does NAET. He tested me and I was found to be very allergic to the drug. He was able to clear my allergy to it and ease the pain. I would not advise taking this medicine, as the benefits are not worth the possible chronic head pain. started using this for allergic scleritis after lotemax did not work. noticed improvement immediately. have had some excessive tearing, but as I have dry-eye syndrome, I don't really mind. | |||
