Besivance is a prescription eye drop medication that is commonly used to treat bacterial eye infections. It belongs to a class of medications known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics, which work by stopping the growth of bacteria in the eye.
This medication is typically prescribed for conditions such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other bacterial eye infections. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully when using Besivance, as improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance and other complications.
When using Besivance, it is important to wash your hands before and after applying the eye drops. Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye. Close your eye for a few moments to allow the medication to spread evenly. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to prevent contamination.
Some common side effects of Besivance may include temporary blurred vision, eye irritation, or a mild stinging sensation upon application. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if your symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Failure to do so may result in the infection returning or becoming resistant to treatment.
If you have any questions or concerns about Besivance or any other medications, do not hesitate to speak with your healthcare provider. Your eye health is important, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
