Yes it was helpful. I got the little bottle directly from my eye dr. so I didn't get a pamphlet that comes with the box.
Dear KitN_Li,
It is possible that you can taste the drop if it is draining from your eye into your nose and throat, the normal drainage pathway. You can try putting pressure over the lacrimal sac to try to limit drainage into the mouth.

Drinking water does help me to reduce the intensity of the taste, :)
To minimize drainage down your throat and "tasting" the drops here's what you do:
Immediately after putting the drop in your eye(s), close your eye(s), lean forward and apply light pressure to the inner corner of your eye where your tear duct is for about a minute.
Hello there. I had my corneal transplant a year ago and in steroid drops two times a day. If you read the pamphlet in the medicine box they do inform you that you can taste the medicine. This is VERY normal . It's not only for steroid drops but for many other eye drops too. I can't technically explain why but it's something to do with the draining of the med from your eyes. So, don't worry.. IT'S NORMAL! :))
