Comment:
I have had to pay$94 for these drops and there was only 4 drops in the 2.5ML bottle. 2.5 ML should equal 60 drops. I took the 1st bottle back to the pharmacy and the next bottle I received was empty as well. I got 2 whole drops out of it!!

Refrigerate the unopened bottle at 36-46 degrees F (2-8 degrees C). Store the opened bottle between 36-77 degrees F (2-25 degrees C) away from heat. Do not freeze. The medication expires 14 days after the bottle is opened.

Comment:
I also cannot get the prescribed amount of drops from one bottle. The small bottle that is sold barely gives 7 days of use. And the cost is excessive. I cannot believe that a drug companys cost should be so high that it is passed to the consumer. A rip off.

I was excited to begin using Azasite. However, I have grown greatly disappointed. By day 4 and 5 I have to work with great difficulty to get a drop out of the bottle. I am on a 28 day treatment but one bottle can't even get me a week.
