Does anyone else have this side effect? Within minutes of using the
drops, I get a disgusting taste in my mouth, and my throat feels
uncomfortable, like it does right before a cold. I'm fine by morning.

Thanks!

you need to close your eyes for a minute after you take your drops to
keep the medicine from going down your tear ducts, into your nose, and
down your throat.

Keep the eyes closed and apply pressure to the inner corner of the eye(s)
with your finger for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the medicine to be absorbed by
the eye.
