| 3 | Terrible headaches | I was using this off-label to treat my dry eyes. Because of the expense and concerns about long term use, I did not use Azasite often. In 2010, I went through three, three week courses, and it was wonderful. My eyes were comfortable, and the little bumps in my eyelid went away. However, in 2015 and 2016, I tried the medication again, and it gave me unbearable headaches both times. I don't know if I have become allergic or sensitive to something in the drops, or whether the new owner of the patent somehow changed the formula and added something that was not there in 2010. At any rate, I cannot use them any more. | F | 54 | 2X day | 3/5/2016 | 5 | blepharitis and dry eye | slight burning right after putting in the eye, but other than that, it has been a god send. | I could not use restasis since it made my eyes drier, so then I started using azasite and I'm pretty much back to normal. | F | 50 | 30 days 1X day | 7/25/2011 |
