I had a cold, and then jumped out the barley on the eye, it hurt so much and it was swollen. To me the doctor has advised Floksalom ointment popolzovatsja. It turned out to be a good remedy, barley passed completely 2 days. In general, it is necessary to drink some vitamin-mineral complex in spring to maintain immunity.

And I did not even know that barley is staphylococcus. Thanks pharmacist, seeing how I was bent, convinced to buy antimicrobial ointment Floxal, although I went to the drugstore for patches. I put a strip of ointment under the lower eyelid for the night, and the next morning I could open my eyes. Definitely recommend.

After ARVI there were complications - conjunctivitis bacterial. Eyes in the morning could not paste, so pus-covered with pus. The doctor prescribed Floxal drops. Began to drip and a few days later from the disease there was no trace. A great tool, I liked it very much and enjoyed it (convenient packaging) and the effect shook.

Tetracycline ointment does not help me for a long time, although at school my mother treated her with conjunctivitis. And recently many years later, I again picked up this infection somewhere, my eyes became red like a vampire, and began to turn sour in the morning. I had to go to the doctor with a bullet, rinsed me and prescribed phloxal ointment for the lower eyelid, after three days it eased, but since it was an antibiotic, I treated them about a week.

Phloxal Ointment in our family is the first, if not the only, remedy for barley. And no matter what it is: external or internal, it effectively eliminates it. And fast enough. After five days, there is no trace of inflammation. Although I use seven days for prevention. Whether it is not enough.

At me weak enough immunity, therefore often there is a conjunctivitis, especially in the autumn. Previously, I tried to cure it by washing the eyes with a decoction of chamomile or strong tea, but it turned out to be a pointless exercise. Indeed, the drops of Phloxal really helped, my eyes quickly stop aching, the redness decreases for 2-3 days of use, I drip them with the course for a week. Now I recommend it to everyone who faces such a problem.

Cool drops, only recently I use them. It even seems to me that it was due to floxal that my conjunctivitis became less frequent, and almost every month I was sick, or even twice. And now after the last time three months have already passed and no disease.Here today on a vial of medicine came across in a closet and realized that for three months there were no problems with the eyes, so I decided to share it.
