For Steroid Responsive Inflammatory Conditions: I thought I had too much wine or was losing it; I am so glad to know I'm apparently not the only who has tasted my eye drops. That's the only disadvantage to this medicine -- but nothing is perfect, right? The drops work wonderfully, and my eyes feel great after I use the medication.
