Azasite for Posterior Blepharitis

What has your experience been with Azasite for posterior blepharitis (PB)? I have been treating BP with Azasite for almost a year with incredible success! Its currently off-label... but being investigated for FDA approval.

Dear JRautio,

I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD to determine the length of time of treatment for the posterior blepharitis with the anti-microbial.
