Avatar m tn It is unusual for patients to be allergic to Vigamox but does happen on occasion. Should not have any lasting effects past a few days. If your vision is blurry, ask the doctor if your cornea is clear and doing ok.
Avatar n tn One should never use a prescription medication on someone (something) for which it does not have a medical doctors approval. It is always wrong to assume a medication for a human can double for use on dogs and other animals. Some are toxic. This noted, there are in fact cases of over-the-counter and home-remedies that humans use that can be used on a dog, but not until one knows it is in general done with good success. Don't be the test case.
Avatar f tn My optometrist wrote me a prescription for Vigamox. I actually have an Unopened bottle but realized the expiration date on the box is 12/2009. I was hoping to save the $100 and use the unopened bottle but do not know if that is such a wise idea. Are expired eye drops safe?
Avatar f tn I am in the middle of having cataract surgery (one eye is done and the other will be done tomorrow). The doctor gave me small samples of Nevanac & Vigamox to use before and after the surgeries. He also gave me a prescription for both. In checking with my health insurance plan, I see that each prescription will cost me $75 to fill. I saw in a previous question that Tobramycin might be substituted for Vigamox (which is MUCH cheaper). Can you suggest a cheaper substitute for Nevanac?
Avatar f tn I cannot believe what I am reading! I have the same scenario! I am allergic to Sulfa and have been given HCZT. I have been to so many doctors that do not understand the relationship between low Vit. D and the thyroid. I continue to struggle with Hashimoto's and my thyroglobulin has doubled in the past six months! I am so frustrated!
Avatar f tn Anyone on earth had a similar event or know what it could be please answer I will highly appreciate and have a better thanksgiving. Also is it dangerous to take Vigamox at each 2h?
Avatar f tn Now I am scheduled for cataract surgery, and in the presurgical packet I received this weekend, there is an rx for Vigamox, even though I requested that a note about the Cipro/Vigamox problem be placed in my file. I know the fluoroquinolones are appealing to docs because they are so tremendously effective, but for people who cannot tolerate them, are there acceptable substitutes?

Avatar m tn Often after I rise in the morning my eyes burn and water. Wiping them with a tissue does a good job of relieving the discomfort, and I'm generally good for the rest of the day. My concern is that I'm going to have cataract surgery this coming Wednesday, and I know that rubbing the eyes afterward is a bad idea. I'm hoping for suggestions as to how best to relieve the discomfort and not compromise the incisions by rubbing my eyes.
1428481 tn?1340593131 I have the eye drops (Vigamox) on hand and was wandering if I could use them on my son. I have heard a lot about pink eye but never in infants so I'm not sure how to treat an infant with Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis). He has green mucus basically gluing his right eye together. I have had to wipe it clean multiple times with a wet cloth. The white of his eye is not red but I have heard of people having pink eye without it actually being red.
Avatar m tn I am using patanol and vigamox. Problem is i have like a white discharge on my eye and it does not like to come out. I use a hot compress twice a day then i try to rinse my eye and flush my eye as well. Nothing it just remains in my eye.Most of the time i go to bed and it still there. When the white discharge remains in my eye for too long it gets hard and crust and sticks to my skin this hearts really bad.
Avatar n tn I saw my Doctor he put numbing drops in my eyes and did a slit light test, then prescribed me acular and vigamox, directed me to two different OTC drops ( one which is almost gel like ). Told me that I had a cut with scar tissue and that it would be a long and painful healing process. I was told not be in the wind or under a fan, always have on sun glasses when outside, and keep light dim while inside. He said it would probably take eight to twelve weeks to heal.
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm being treated for "bacterial Keratitis" on the left eye. I've had the infection for about two weeks. I waited a long time to see a doctor because I don't have insurance and I thought it was pinkey and would heal on it's own. I was wrong. I finally went at cost of $140. I was diagnosed and given vigamox (4 x day) and Tobradex. The doctor insisted I come back the next day to check my pupil after dilated. So, I paid another $140 for that exam.
Avatar f tn During this time I have also developed Psoriatic Arthritis and have been put on a Sulfa Drug. They have been monitoring my blood work up close for the past 3 months and have noted that my white cell count is low most of the time. The highest it has been in these past months is the bottom end of normal, but lingering around 3.0. Also, my red cell count is down a bit too around 3.8.
Avatar n tn If I am allergic to tetracycline, a sulfa drug, would I be allergic to diamox, another sulfa drug? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/304392'>pseudo papilledema</a>.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know if Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim is affective agianst chlamydia. I thought I read that Dr. said it was. But am not sure.
1415174 tn?1453243103 But it is the side effects of Vigamox. I just want to do the right thing. Every thing I have read says to treat this agressively. So, I don't want to lose my vision. I am very scared.
Avatar n tn Infectious mononucleosis predisposes to drug allergy; I have not heard that ARS does so, but ARS and mono are similar in many ways, so perhaps what you read is correct. However, all things considered, the arguments against ARS are strong. HIV remains rare in most heterosexual populations in the US and other industrialized countries, so it is unlikely your partner had HIV.
Avatar f tn I would say that it potentially could be caused by the sulfa medication. Sulfa drugs have an effect on every body system. If it continues, call the doctor that prescribed to make sure he/she doesn't want to see you.
Avatar f tn Diamox and weight loss for overweight individuals are typical first-line treatment approaches. You seem to have a true allergy to sulfa, and reactions to Diamox are a definite possibility. The cardiac drug Digoxin has been reported to lower the cerebrospinal pressure as well and has been beneficial for patients with your disease.
