Adverse effects of Benzalkonium Chloride

2017-08-12 21:25:40
Hello. Can you please advise me. I was given the antibiotic Exocin 9 weeks ago and told to take it for 7 days. On the 5th day I woke up and there was no moisture at all in my eyes. It was very scary. I didn't even need it as I had no infection. Are the effects of the preservative reversible and how long will it take normally? Thank you
