Hi, every morning and through the day my eyes are burning, itching, and really red. I have read up on different vitamins, but was wondering if anyone has the same problem. Thanks Clare ## Lately I have had the same problem. Although an antihistamine helps with the itching, sneezing due to allergy, my eyes are quite red. Checking with my eye doctor, he suggested that my eyes are dry due to time of year and not enough moisture, so I was advised to use lubricating eye drops about 4 times a day. Picked up over-the-counter eye drops. This has helped a lot. ## Clare, I also have to advise seeing an eye doctor, rather than guessing what's wrong and trying to treat it yourself. Your vision isn't something worth risking to guess work. It may be due to allergies and dryness, like the issu...

Hi all. Someone put muro tears in my soda at school and I started crying right away and ran home and watched a bad girls club marathon. HELP WHAT DO I DO ## I am currently hospitalized for a severe case of Muro Tears. My symptoms were extreme highs of anger and aggression followed by extreme lows of self doubt and no respect from those around me. Doctors say I will never fully recover, but I feel through medication and Dr. Phil I can one day recover. ## I think my ymca has a sport group on tuesdays and thursdays I'm going to attend so I can surround myself with other sad sacks ## Ha ha ha, very funny everyone! Clearly this discussion thread is a joke. Probably a couple of drunk kids. Does anybody have legitimate questions or information about this product?

its side effects, I am 27yrs 9 months old, doctor has prescribed this eye drops, advised to use this 8 times daily, each times 2 drops, gradually decrease the amount, total course is 15days. along with this he has advised to use pentol eye drops 3times daily for 15 days. can you please tell me what are the side effects it has. ## The active ingredient in Predmet eye drops is Prednisolone, it is a corticosteroid. Since they are drops, little is usually actually absorbed in the body, so side effects are minimal, but may include: eye irritation, blurry vision, nausea and fluid retention. Pentol contains the active ingredient Cyclopentolate and, to be honest, I am not sure why the doctor has you using them regularly, because they are normally used to stop the eye from focusing to enable t...

Drug prescribe for sore eyes ## The proper treatment depends on exactly what is causing the problem with your eyes, which could be many different things. It could be anything from an infection to just temporary irritation. The problem and your medical history, as well as any other medications you may be taking, will then be taken into account, before any type of treatment is prescribed or used. It may require something as simple as eye drops, prescription tablets or some other option. Have you seen a doctor for this, yet? ## what is the medicine prescription for sore eyes?

any adverse side effects or benefits ## Well, the FDA has recognzed it as being beneficial is topic skin care products and some injections for wrinkles, such as in Restylane. Otherwise, I am not seeing a whole lot on adverse effects, but there is a page of information here: ## There are many HA products on the market that claim benefits to joints in humans. However most of them are defective because they contain snippets (low molecular weight segments) of the complex natural hyaluronic acid molecular structure. It has been shown in some careful studies that effective joint support requires HA molecular weight greater than one million Daltons. Taking a tablet or capsule through the human digestive system allows digestive enzymes to reduce even moderate sized HA molecules to thousands of ...

is Re-vital-eyes a prescription drug as they contains Purified benzyl alcohol? ## Benzyl alcohol? No, this would not be safe to use in the eye, it would cause a lot of problems, irritation and possibly permanent damage. Revital Eyes drops, by Ethos contain the active ingredient NAC N-Acetyl-Carnosine, a natural substance used in the eye drops. It is not actually proven to help with anything. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Are there other eye drops that use the same ingredients that Visine LR does? ## I just listed this in another post, the active ingredient Oxymetazoline can also be found in Claritin Allergy Relief Eye Drops and in Ocuclear. Do you have any other questions? ## Claritin ophthalmic solution contains as the active ingredient ketotifen ## I noticed that there are other allergy products on the market which contain the same key ingredient as Visine LR called Oxymetazoline. The only thing is that they come as a nasal spray and the proportion of Oxymetazoline is a higher dose. Here is an example: Visine LR contained Oxymetazoline HCl 0.025% as the active ingredient along with Benzalkonium Chloride, Boric Acid, Edetate Disodium, Purified Water, Sodium Borate, and Sodium Chloride as the inactive i...
