What Causes Pink Eye After Taking Clarithromycin?
Hello, I was put on clarithromycin for bronchitis and tonsillitis yesterday. Today now I m pretty sure I have pink eye as well. Will that antibiotic treat the pink eye, or will I have to visit a doctor once again for another medication? Thanks for your help.

Hello,
The pink eye is usually related to a viral infection. In such a case the antibiotics are not effective. I suggest to use an artificial tear to relieve the eye redness.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
