The skin specialist prescribed OMNACORTIL 40mg for 2 weeks and taper down to 20mg for 1 week and 10 mg for 1 week for my wife's skin problem. She had taken the same in Sep,08. She is finding her right eye with blurred vision. We checked up with Opthalmologit and he conducted the tests. He feels the Ratina is slightly swollen and it may be due to some intake of medicines. Please let me know whether the above medicine taken by my wife has the side effects on her eye.
If so how do we cure the eye problem now.

The active ingredient in this is Prednisolone and yes, one of the possible side effects can be blurred vision. Most side effects go away once your body adjusts to a medication or the drug is discontinued.

I suggest she speak with her doctor about it. Post back and let us know how she is doing.

My mother is seeking from Asthma since past 5-6 years. And was on treatment. But recent in February, 2011 she got admitted in Hospital and did not recover from that. And till date from Feb. she is on continuous Oxygen supply. She is now 59years old and very much week. Doctors told us that there is no further treatment can happen to her because her lungs are only 30-35% in working condition.
So kindly suggest me any treatment is there for her. I lives in Badlapur near Kalyan city.
