I have been told to put one drop of antibiotics in my eye 4 times a day. Is it every 3 hours or every 6 hours?

Hello Sue and Gayle! How are you? I am sorry about the confusion and happy to help clear this up for you.

According to FDA and NIH instructions, 4 times a day would be every 6 hours. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including eye burning, redness, irritation, and tearing.

Is there anything else I can help with?
