Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

I find it hard to believe that what seems to be an allergic reaction, occurred 3 weeks after initiating the drug. Most allergic reactions occur soon after contact with the inciting factor or up to 1 week later. Sometimes drug allergy may occur even after successfully using the drug in the past but this a rare event.

If no allergen can be identified and you have no past history of eye allergy then you should visit an ophthalmologist and try stopping the drug for a few days and starting it again, after the symptoms have subsided.

You can contact me again, if you'd like more information. I'll be glad to help!

Kind Regards!
