I have pseudo tumor cerebri & was given this drug to reduce some of the pressure in my head. Every week I face several severe side effects, what drug could I recommend to replace this one? ## If you're just using Diamox Sequels (Acetazolamide XR) for glaucoma (intraocular pressure) as it's indications state, then I would consider trying medical marijuana as an alternative replacement with less side effects. I can't say for sure that it will work as well or better, but if you are wanting to avoid such severe side effects, it could be a viable option. Personally, I feel that it works very well for me if I ever have pressure in my head and want a "lighter" feeling, per say. Hopefully it can work just as well for you in a similar manner, but I suppose it would really...

i found a pill on my floor it has a 20 on one side with a line down the middle so 2 on one side and 0 on the other side of it! i couldnt read the other side it looked like it got wet can someone help me figure this out? ## Hi james, The closest match I can find is Methazolamide (50 mg); which is used in the treatment of glaucoma and belongs to the drug class "Carbonic Anhydrase" inhibitors. This pill matches your description exactly except that it's light purple and not white. That could just mean that the pill you have was manufactured by a different company. Side effects of Methazolamide include: Dizziness, drowsiness, sore throat, fever, unusual bleeding or bruising, tingling or tremors in the hands or feet, pain in the side or groin, or a rash. Methazolamide may also inc...

I have sjogrens and have extremely dry mouth. For the past 2years my doctor has had me drink pilocarpine opthalmic eye drops mixed with water. I has not worked at all. My teeth are starting to decay. I searched the net and found salagen. I went to another dr and got my 1st script of salagen today. Directions are 5mg 4 x day. I looked at some user reviews and some had terrible side effects. I also use biotene. I have to do something, I chock on my food and sometimes can't talk because my mouth is so dry. I know there is a newer drug but I don't have insurance. Any info would be extremely helpful. ## If I were to suggest anything that may be of help to you in the long run, it would be to detox your body and boost your immune system, by eating primarily fresh fruits and vegetables ...

Several years ago a doctor recommended over the counter "briny" eyedrops which I found to be helpful in managing "sandpapery" feeling eyes. Now I would like to use these eyedrops again but I cannot remember the name. I seem to recall they started with UR (not sure). Any ideas? ## No eye drops I found started with "UR", but the following are names of eye drops that I felt most closely matched your description: Murine eye drops (these are made from urine) Brolene eye drops Brimo eye drops Could it have been some sort of foreign brand?

I was just hoping for a few responses on what people found most annoying or inconvenient about putting in eye drops. I am attempting to design a new way of going about the process and any response is appreciated. ## I am really touchy over my eyes - I don't think I'd ever be able to put in contacts or anything like that. When using eye drops I have a really hard time keeping my eye open while waiting for the drop to fall in, so a lot of the time I have to squeeze it so that multiple drops will come out so that I can get at least a bit of the fluid in my eye. Hope this helps.
