Has anyone had iluvien insert for Diabetic Macular Endima? What was your criteria to go for Iluvien vs other treatments? ## Hello, Chris! How are you? Inluvien is approved for us in patients who have previously tried a course of corticosteroids and had no significant rise in intraocular pressure. One provides sustained treatment for 36 months. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including cataract formation, optic nerve damage, visual field defects and secondary ocular infection. Has anyone used this that can chime in? ## How many ILUVIEN shots can I get in one eye? I heard that the capsule does not dissolve and remains in the eye forever. I have had just one implant so far and it will wear out soon. It's been almost 3 years since I received it.

Hello po ask ko lang side effect po ba ng memory plus ang pag break out ng acne sa forehead? Dati kasi im taking it tapos nag ka breakout then nung naubos na di na nakabili then napansin ko nawala pimples then ngayon na mag eexam na my mom bought me again and 14 days ko na siya nagagamit i notice my breakout ako sa forehead. Please answer. ## I have the same experience. Maganda sana sya kasi aside from nagiging sharp ang memory, ang ganda din ng tulog ko but I stopped taking it since I got acne breakouts, maybe it contains an ingredient that triggers a certain hormone to cause the breakouts.. ?

My sister is suffering from hypereosinophilic syndrome since 25/3/2014. She has taken omnocortil 60mg for 20 days & now she is taking 50mg for a week, but later on the dosage has to be decreased to 40mg and 30mg weekly. Currently, she is having some face swelling and weakness so plz guide us. ## I have been suffering from acute colitis for 3 years with no solution. Please advise whether omnacortil can help? ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, and it is always best to follow a doctor's instructions.

It is a cream for psoriasis, looking for more details. ## I have tried Soravil and was sooo disappointed. The woman on the phone had me sp excited and enthusiastic about this product. It did not work at all...as a matter of fact it dried it out and made it itch even more. Plus, It stung soo bad. Not worth the money at all. DO NOT BUY ## Its worked wonders for me for decades.

For months I've been experiencing itching which causes scabs and unexplained bruises that won't go away. What kind of over the counter medicine should I use? ## Hello Lucy, Sounds to me like you need to take a visit to your primary care physician to see what the possible cause could be. I had a family member who was had the same thing happen and when they finally went to the doctor they found out it was because they were thrashing in their sleep. Ultimately they had to do a few sleep studies to find out what was causing the sleep issues. I'm not saying you have the same problem, I'm simply saying it's best to talk with your doctor on the subject to find the root cause rather than treat the symptoms. Keep us updated.

Hi! Can I use Santyl on my face to remove dark skin and on the lines of the face? ## Santyl is a collagenese ointment that is normally used for debribedement, such as when someone has a wound that won't heal and has developed necrotic tissue. Has your doctor told you to use it for these purposes? Otherwise, I can only think that such use would be inappropriate and is likely to cause more harm than good. You can learn more about it here: ## I had a severe infection in my rectal area and the surgeon had to dig deep to clear out the affected tissue. I am left with a deep cavity which requires daily changing of a fistula, and wound care. The cavity seems to be narrowing. Santyl is used in wound care, but it's too expensive. Can you recommend a substitute? ## Can Santyl be used on th...

Is campho phenique scab relief still sold? If so, where? If not, is there any other like vthis product that is the same formula? ## The Cold Sore Scab Relief has been discontinued. The active ingredients were Pramoxine, a local anesthetic, and White Petrolatum, so all it really did was temporarily alleviate any pain or irritation and moisturize the area, since the other ingredient is just pretroleum jelly. I didn't find this exact combo listed in anything else, but you can try asking your pharmacist. Are there any questions or comments? ## I disagree. I've used petroleum jelly, I've used healing creams for lips and still, if I awaken in the morning and yawn, the scab will crack and bleed. When I use the Campho Phenique for scab relief, it seems to stay on and keep the scab m...
