Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Alocril 2% Ophth Soln 5ml?
I've been using Alocril 2% Ophth Soln 5ml for a few weeks now to treat my seasonal allergies, and I've been wondering if anyone else has experienced any of the more severe side effects mentioned in the drug's information. I've had a bit of stinging and watering, but nothing too bad. But I'm wary of those urgent side effects. How do you know if the irritation is bad enough to warrant a doctor visit?
I've also been curious about what to do if I do experience those urgent side effects. Do I need to go to the ER or can I just call my pharmacist or doctor?
I've also had a bunch of other questions related to the drug. For example: How long should I keep using it? What happens if I stop using it? What happens if I use it when I don't have allergies?
It would be great to hear about any of your experiences or advice on these points.

I haven't had any issues, but I've been using for just a few weeks. I'm worried because I've had a bad reaction to other medications in the past.
If you're experiencing any of the severe side effects, don't mess around—go to the ER. Better safe than sorry, right?
I've had the sensation of a burning sensation in my eyes, or the sensation of something in my eyes, but it's not bad enough to worry me. I'll keep an eye out for any changes in vision, though.
I've been using it and I've only had some minor irritation. I don't know if I'd be able to tell if I were to have a more severe reaction though. I'm keeping my eye on it.
I've found that using it at night helps—less irritation during the day.
I've been using Alocril for a while and haven't had any major issues. Just some mild stinging at first, but it went away after a few days. I'd say if you're feeling any shortness of breath or sudden changes in eyesight then maybe call your doctor right away.
My doctor said to use it consistently for a few weeks to see if it helps. If you stop, the allergies might come back. Just stick with it and monitor your symptoms closely.
