Hello. I am curious if Terramicina works at all or better on a stye than Tobramycin? ## Most do not require treatment, according to NIH reports, they will usually go away on their own, though it may take about a week, or so. As to using either of these medications, since they are not specifically formulated for optical use, thus, they might not be sterile and safe for use in your eye. According to the FDA that means they could worsen the issue, or cause additional infections. How are you doing? Has there been any change?

It is indicated for the treatment of soft tissue inflammation and trauma to the eye. From what I can gather, proteolytic enzy...

I have pink eye. Can I use terramicina in my eye as a salve, or just around the eye? ## I think it really depends on whether or not you have the ointment, powder or the eye drops. There should be instructions on the package, no? That's just wrong if there isn't, as from what I can tell it can be used to treat pink eye. Based on information i've gathered, the application guidelines are simple. Listed below are the indications for the ointment: "Broad-spectrum antibiotic ideal for mild bacterial eye infections Easy to use - simply apply ointment directly on the affected area" I'm assuming that the eye drops are no different other than actually dropping it into your eye. Here is an information link to the powdered form of this medication as well (it states: puff pow...

I just want to know what this drug used for and the ingredients and side effects? ## Duract contains the active ingredient Bromfenac, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. However, you should also be aware that this medication was removed from the market, in some countries, due to numerous occurrences of liver failure, when someone had used it for longer than the recommended time period, which is 10 days. Are there any other questions? ## I had spine surgery 3 years ago and just 6 months ago diagnosed with chronic liver disease.please can use dura pain? Iam doing good but occasionally itchiness.iam hepatitis neg

Has anyone had experience with Xiidra, for dry eyes? I am curious if there are any side effects not listed by the company... ## I have been experiencing extreme headaches, and I just had a brainstorm: Could it be induced by Xiidra? Restasis certainly caused headaches and more. It has definitely affected my sense of taste.

Hi, I have glaucoma and i want to know if it's safe for me to take terfamex 30 mg? ## Hello, Alaminos! How are you? Terfamex contains Phentermine, which is a stimulant drug that's used to aid in weight loss. Learn more Phentermine details here. Are you on any other medications? You should check with your doctor, before adding anything new to make sure that it's safe for you to do so. ## I'm 20 years old and I'm taking terfamex I bought it on Mexico. I don't take it everyday. I take it about every other day or every three days. I weigh about 130 now before I started taking it, exercising, or eating semi healthier I weighed 150. I just want to loose a little more weight and then start building muscle. I just wanted to know if I was in risk of anything harmful from ...

I'm accidentally put tetrahydrozoline in my ear & now I'm experiencing some nausea. Should I be concerned and are there any other symptoms I should be on the look out for? Also, my intention was to use ear wax removing solution, is it okay to attempt to loosen the cerumen in my ear or should I wait awhile? ## Hello, Jkidd! How are you? No, generally eye drops in your ear aren't a concern, though you may experience the nausea, as you have, due to the fluid in the ear. You should also make sure that it drains out, before trying to use anything else. It's always best to double check with your doctor, but I doubt you have anything to worry about here. If you put ear drops in your eye, that would be a concern, because ear drops aren't sterile, like eye drops. Is there...

Thanks. ## I was using the "Tears Naturale" for my dry eyes, but my eye specialist advised to switch to Systane drops, which are coming in 2 Options - "Balance" and "Ultra". I am looking for experience about these drops. Thanks. ## I accidently put my systane eye drop in my nose ## I ACCIDENTLY PUT SYSTANE EYE DROPS IN MY EAR TO TREAT SWIMMERS EAR

would like to know the side affects with this drug ## This is commonly prescribed in the U.S. under the trade name Cosopt. It s used to reduce the pressure in the eye to normal levels and treat Glaucoma. Side effects may include: swelling or redness of the eyelids, light sensitivity and blurred vision. Do you have any other questions? ## My mother has had glaucoma for years. Her eyes sting with the use of Dorzol so the Dr. is having her try Istalol. I did some research on both and found them to be quite the same. Would you explain the most noticeable difference between Dorzolamide HC1/Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic and Istalol (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution)? ## Dear sir / madam, I 'm a chronic kidney disease, with a kreatinin of 3.88 and 64 ureum for around 1 year (as I know).

I've used CYMGEN 60mg for almost 5 years. My new GP decided to put me on NUZAK 20mg. I Use it with EPITEC 350 MG. I have glaucoma. I am using NUZAK now for almost 10 days and experiencing side effects like nausea, dizziness, off balance and feel out of control. Must I keep on using NUZAK? ## Those are listed as possible side effects, according to the NIH, you may also experience mood swings, weight changes, and dizziness. Have you started taking it, yet? How are you doing? Are you on any other medications?

I've been on Durezol for 1-1/2 years for Iritis. I've had 6 eye surgeries in 2 years-2 macular holes, 2 cataracts, 2 eye shunts because of high IOP. I've gained 17 lbs. When you drop Durezol then pinch your eyes, you still get Durezol running into your tear ducts which then goes right into your system. Can't be helped. But also because Durezol makes your vision blurry and your eyes light sensitive, I've not been as physically active as I was prior to my eye surgeries and I went into a little depression. I think that is reason for my weight gain and maybe others.

I am scheduled for Jetrea 4/30. I am wondering if your side effects have subsided and would you do it again. ## Hoping to hear from people who used Jetrea to close Macular Hole. I am wondering about lasting side effects. Do you think it was worth it? Did you need to go on to have to have surgery? Any thoughts, opinions and insights on Jetrea are appreciated. ## I have had a successful experience with Jetrea. I have just posted a brief description of my post injection recovery here and have kept a blog. I hope my comments will be of help to you. ## Thank you so much for sharing your story. I read your blog and it was extremely interesting and well done. I think it is interesting that you felt so confident to try Jetrea when you were maybe the first in the country to do so while I am so h...

I was using Bausch + Lomb eye drops for years with good results. Then insurance companies made me switch to generic Azelastine HCI by Apotex Corp and in the past 3-years I'm sure there were other manufactures because the bottle has not always looked the same. I've discussed the terrible side effects with Generic brand. I'm told it's the same as B&L but it's not. This Apotex Corp burned or stung so bad that I jumped in the shower with my clothes on. I've always put a drop on my inside wrist and wait a day before ever putting liquid in my eye and though this is not a full proof way of knowing if the drops will burn it certainly makes me feel a little more at ease before using. I never had a broblem until generic and now I'm using/trying many over the counte...

My daughter had this injection approximately 2 1/2 weeks ago and has had a horrible reaction. It started with severe pain and almost total blindness in the eye. Everything is now dark and distorted.The iris and pupil in her eye are both much smaller now than the other eye. Don't take the risk of having this injection. We don't know yet if this will be permanent. ## Hello, Sandy! How is your daughter doing? I am so sorry about what happened to her. Vision issues and pain are listed as possible side effects of it, according to the FDA. Other side effects may include intraocular pressure, intraocular hemorrhage and retinal edema. Has her doctor checked it, yet? ## How's your daughter? Has her vision improved by the Jetrea inj.?

I have a little round white pill with 31 over 80 or 31/80? does it interact with Combigan? what are the dangers? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such interactions to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Glycopyrrolate as possibly including nausea, body aches, cough and decreased urine volume. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I accidentally put combigan in my ear? Should I be concerned?

I had an injection 5 days ago and have not had any reaction. Does this mean that the injection didn't work? ## Hello, Sue! How are you? Not necessarily, it could be that you're just not sensitive to its side effects. I am very sensitive to medications and usually end up experiencing a ton of side effects, but my mother-in-law is the complete opposite and rarely ever experiences any from any medication she tries. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including reduced vision, pain and retinal breaks. Are you still doing well?

I believe Latisse caused me to lose fat on my upper right eye lid, shriveling it up. I discontinued use and my eye looks back to normal. But it was very scary because it looked awful. Looking up latisse online, this is a side effect: periorbital fat loss. Proceed with caution and do your due dilligence before using. ## Hello, Helene! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you experienced. Was that the only side effect you experienced? The FDA lists others as possibly including hair growth outside the treatment area, eyelid pigmentation, increased ocular pressure and dry eye.

an awful sinus arised after i had som eye drops.now my throat is paining and the sinus has blocked my nose,will allegex help me? ## Hello, John! How are you? This medication will only help, if your symptoms are due to an allergic reaction. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of antihistamines as possibly including dizziness, headache and dry mouth. If they are due to side effects from the eye drops, then the antihistamine will not likely help. What eye drops did you use? Perhaps I can research the side effects for you.

I was using this eye drops for over 30 years and have a no problem of any size within my eyes function,and is because of the severe dryness those blessed drops were the only ones I could use.Please do something about bringing up these products to the market or with a dr's prescription I m willing to pay whatever the cost is !!! ( and please I don't need any names of the ones on the shelves, none of them work for me ! )

naturopathic help for E.D. ## any health concerns ## I am maybe half-way through my order of the product. There will be no repeat business. I've also tried a couple of similar products, the names of which I cannot remember -- one of them was a muddy liquid in small glass bottles that included a delivery mechanism resembling what you would use to put eye drops into your eye. The hype was empty for me. Thunderous erections is bull crap. I'll no more be sucked into spending this kind of money on these useless natural remedies, for it seems that only substances like Viagra and Cialis and their imitators does the job. Absolutely no recommendations from me! ## PROVI-GROW from Micro Nutra is also completely inefective for me. I took the tablets excactly as suggested but no response and...
