      Azyter is an antibiotic and I use it for blepharitis which resulted in meibomianitis which resulted in dry eye, exacerbated by intensive computer use over many years. I take it roughly 112 days and it kills the bugs very effectively but last time I forgot and didn't take it for 272 days, when it proved ineffective. Entirely my fault. I hope I can take it twice in quick succession and return to the normal state of effectiveness.

    You should be asking your Ophthalmologist or GP

      Thank you. I have asked my opthalmologist and hope to hear on Wednesday. I note that the Azyter leaflet says users mustn't take the eye drops on a fourth day but on the other hand there is a week-long treatment option........ I hope the opthalmologist has a solution.

      I think that completes this discussion?
