I've just been prescribed Polymyxin-B/trimethoprim Ophth Sol for a bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye). I started using it today, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the severe ones. My doctor reassured me that they are rare, but I can't shake off the anxiety. Has anyone else used this medication? What was your experience like? Any tips on how to manage the mild side effects (like burning or stinging) or the medication in general? What has your experience with the FDA's side effects reporting been? I want to be prepared and know what to expect. Thanks in advance for any insights!
