IF you actually read the info on the above website, you will realize that this is ineffective medicine. Keep in mind that most times when you get pink eye (bacterial conjunctivitis) it is a bacterial infection, and that is why it is so contagious. Now read the uses for this medication:

Uses

According to homeopathic principles, the active ingredients in this medication temporarily relieve minor symptoms associated with viral and environmental conjunctivitis

Basically what this is saying is that it doesn't treat or cure bacterial conjunctivitis, or the pink eye you have. Don't waste your money on this product, use that money to go see a doctor.

Answer 2

This depends on how severe and what type of conjunctivitis (pink eye) you have contracted. In mild case of conjunctivitis, cold water saline solutions, warm compresses or lubricant eye drops provide relief.

There are 4 forms of pink eye: allergic, bacterial, viral, and chemical.

In bacterial conjunctivitis, antibiotic eye drops or ointments speed recovery, but this form usually resolves with no treatment.

With all forms of pink eye, the patient is advised not to share washcloths or towels, and to refrain from touching the infected eye.
