I have been on Prozac for the last 25 + years and now I have glaucoma. Is it possible that the Prozac caused it? ## Glaucoma has been known to be a rare side effect of Prozac, but there's no way to be certain if it actually caused yours. The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including anorexia, memory impairment, dry mouth, and headache. Does your doctor think there may be a connection?

Is it okay to take Rumiqoun N.F. If you have glaucoma? ## Rumoquin NF contains Dexamethasone, Methocarbamol, and Pheylbutazone. The Dexamethasone is a steroid class medication, and it has been known to cause glaucoma in some people, since one of its side effects is increased ocular pressure, according to FDA reports. However, it can be taken by someone with glaucoma, if their doctor approves, and is monitoring them regularly, in which case the lowest possible effective dose should be used. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, sedation, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Do other glaucoma patients run out of Lumigan much quicker than their other eye drops? ## Hello people. notice I am new to the privileges of using this Interweb. More to the point, I am also new to the awareness of and treatments for my "inherent wide-angle Glaucoma". The (use before bedtime eye-drops Latanoprost) was RX dispensed in a teensy container. One drop in each eye daily and ALWAYS empties 5-7 days after it is opened. This container ALWAYS shows 1-2 more applications remaining in the container which; so far, I can't get out. This container is $101.93. The label "claims" to hold 29 days of doses. This IS mathematically impossible by my understanding. This fact being ALSO supported by several lucid and perplexed medical professionals. I am relieved to read ano...

I have breast disease of cysts coming up in a cyclical fashion. My Doctor has prescribed me Evion400 & GLA. Is there any side effect of these medicines? Please suggest!! ## Evion contains Vitamin E, so it is a supplement that is often said to help with many different things, but this is not actually proven, though a certain amount is vital to our bodies. The only listed side effect is some nausea when taking it, because the side effect profiles of supplements are not usually studied. GLA is Gamma Linolenic Acid, it is a fatty acid used as a dietary supplement and thought to help with inflammation. Once again, however, this is not actually proven. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Is this two pills Vitamine/food cupplement, whatever you name it...am I going to be benefit...

right now i am having a problem. my throat and mouth get dry. might be my salivary glands are not producing enough saliva. when i try to split saliva now it come just a small drop. what do you think why it is happening. why my salivary glands not working properly. before my salivary glands produce more saliva. one more question? if we sleep and saliva come out of the mouth and make the bedsheet wet. is this is the sign of any illness. it happens with me before my salivary glands stop producing very much saliva. ## Hello, Lovyi! How are you? No, that is not a sign of an illness, that just means you're sleeping with your mouth open. As to the mouth dryness, what has changed in your life recently? Are you on any medications? Do you drink a lot of alcoholic beverages? Do you smoke a lot?
