Just like any medicine, Quixin may cause side effects. However, not everyone who uses the drug will experience problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well.
If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider. Serious reactions are less common.
The most common Quixin side effects may include but are not limited to:
- Temporary vision problems
- Feeling like something is stuck in the eye
- Headaches
- Burning or pain.
(Click Quixin Side Effects to learn more, including potentially serious side effects that you should report immediately to your healthcare provider.)
In general, Quixin is unlikely to interact with other medications (see Quixin Drug Interactions).
You should talk with your healthcare provider prior to using this eye drop if you have any allergies, including allergies to medications, foods, dyes, or preservatives.
Also, let your healthcare provider know if you are:
- Pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant (see Quixin and Pregnancy)
- Breastfeeding (see Quixin and Breastfeeding).
Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any other medication you are taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
