I've recently been prescribed FML Forte (0.25%) Ophth Susp 10ml to treat some irritation in my eye. However I've been scared to start them after seeing the side effect list. I wanted to know if anyone else has taken this medication and what your experience was like. I'm particularly concerned about the more serious side effects, but I guess any insights would be helpful. How long did it take for the drops to work? Did you notice any changes in eyesight, even minor ones? What about any burning sensations when you used them? Thanks in advance for any advice or shared experiences!

I've used these before and they were a lifesaver. My eye was super irritated and red due to allergies. I started noticing improvement after 2-3 days. I didn't experience any serious side effects, but I did have some minor burning sensations at first. That went away after the first week.

I had a friend who used these and got a horrible rash all over their face. They had to go to the ER. I'd be really careful and monitor any reactions closely. Maybe try a smaller dose first?

I've had bad reactions to other steroids. I tried to avoid this until my doctor explained the difference. I didn't get any bad side effects with FML Forte!

I had a weird experience with these drops. My taste changed for a few days. Not sure if it was the drops or not, but it was kind of gross. Otherwise, no major issues.

I've been using FML Forte for a while now and it's been great. No serious side effects here. Just a bit of sting at first but nothing major. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully.

I've been using these for my allergies and they've been working great! I did have a burning sensation, but it went away after a few minutes and my eyes felt better overall.

Be careful with these drops. I had a really bad reaction to them. My eye started hurting and i experienced blurry vision. I was scared but I think it was due to over-use.

I took these after a friend recommended them and I got hives! I had to go to the doctor and get an allergy shot. Be careful if you have allergies to any other medications.

I didn't notice much change with FML Forte. I kept using them for a week and a half and finally got frustrated and switched to another medication. I think it was a placebo effect.
