Thank you so much for this info!!! I thought I had to order these from the US only if I ever need them...

My doctor prescribed me Azyter because of an infection to the conjuntiva, it burned terribly but I had to use it only for 3 days...You need a prescription.

Just as Inspire is working to get AzaSite approved for blepharitis, so is Théa with Azyter:

I'm optimistic that at least on of them will get approved and be found to be more effective than Restasis

AzaSite failed to meet primary goals in phase II trials. On the other hand, I've only read positive experiences from patients with anterior bleph. I cured my anterior bleph with lid cleaning in a week.

This looks like it could be the same company based in UK.

Spectrum Théa Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a new ophthalmic company dedicated to improving health care. Our innovative products are designed to be preservative free, perfume free and offer the most advanced formulation for your eyes

There is no mention of Azyter.

I know it is on the market in Spain, France, Italy and Germany. Don't know about other european countries (is Thea established in the UK ? ), the name varies from country to country...here in Spain they labeled it as 'Azydrop'.

Go to a drugstore and ask them about azithromycin ophthalmic. If this drug or similar is available there, they will come up with a name. If you do need a prescription, they will ask for it.

I have plans to talk about Azyter when I see my Dr. in February. My current treatment is not working (warm compresses + lid massage + minocycline) but I will give it more time.

I couldn't believe that europe patients could not access to AzaSite. So after some researching, I found out about some new eye drop indentical to AzaSite, only stronger: Azyter from Thea Pharma.

Has anyone heard of it ? Here in Spain is called "Azydrop" and acts against the following bacteria :
