Common Questions and Answers about Singulair and dry eyes
singulair
They also get really itchy, but i use allergy eye drops to help that. However, my eyes still continue to get swollen and dry. I am currently taking Allegra-D and Singulair for my allergies. My doctor had prescribed me to Pata-a-Day Eye Drops as well, but they became too expensive and weren't working very well, so i switch to an over the counter brand. My medicine is obviously not working very great either.
Does anyone know of an effective treatment that will help me with this?
Thanks.
re just very dry. I also have dry mouth and very mild urinary retention in the morning (takes long to urinate in the morning), which I assume are side effects from my overdosing on medications. So, my question is, would it be worth it to go see an allergist or do I have to suffer until the end of allergy season? I feel like I have tried all classes of medications available.
I take singulair and doxepin perscribed by my allergist to control hives. I sometimes breakout with red pimple sores that hurt. A medical friend said the sores look like spider bites, but I'm sure they aren't. Can either singulair or doxepincause this reaction, and if so, what can I do for the sores short of not taking the medicine. Benidryl and oether similar medicines do not control my hives.
Sooo.
He also gets extreme chapped lips and I am wondering if the three coincide? When he takes singulair and his asthma is well-controlled it seems like his lips get better. We have also noticed that whenever he goes to school his lips look terrible when he comes home. Could he be allergic to something at school? Thank you.
i did see a rheumatologist...all my bloodwork is normal for autoimmune diseases at this time, but clearly a lot of people don't test positive for Sjogrens at the beginning or at all. he isn't sure if i have sjogren's and wants to monitor me. i understand these things are hard to diagnose. i just worry because og my aches and pains, dry eyes, and dry mouth. yet, i'm a 30 yr old guy and don't fit the mod of who develops Sjogrens...
Some of these are low blink rate, dry eyes and sight behavior. Dry eye is a chronic condition, however you can ask your eye doctor for a prescription like increasing tear production, and treating the inflammation of the eyelids. You can also try some alternatives to treat dry eyes by blinking regularly when staring at a computer screen or reading, wear sunglasses when you go outdoors, increase the level of humidity and ask for nutritional supplements for dry eye condition from your doctor.
I even changed contacts per my eye dr. for dry eyes and that helped for a while, and now I have dry eyes again, with allergies in eyes, burning and itching pollen I know. But question (big One) does anyone have a cure or anyone have a clue of an idea that has hope them with dry eyes, and it is something that you can use in your eyes with your contacts still in. thanks for any info.
Yes that is a common symptom. Use the search feature and archives and read the many helpful posts about dry eyes. Go to Dr. Hagan's home page and read the Journal Posting on treatment of dry eyes. As I have said many time both my wife and I have dry eyes and have been on Restasis for several years with excellent results. WIth MGD it's important to keep the eye lids free of oil and debris (*called scruff). Try Ocusoft Plus PLATINUM it's over the counter.
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am 25 years old and have had dry red eyes since I was very young. I recenlty went to an eye doctor and he told me that I have bacteria living in my oil glands in my eyes and that it is feeding off the oil my eyes are supposed to produce. He said that the oil that ends up covering my eyes is just irritating them. He put me on this medication called doxycycline hyclate 100mg.
If you are menopausal or post-menopausal be sure you and your gynecologist maintain optimal hormonal balance. (Many women with dry eyes have dry mouth and dry vaginal canal). If you have joint pain have that evaluated to be sure you don't have Sjorgren's syndrome. Many medications eg antihistamines can make dry eye worse. You might review your medications with your ophthalmologist.
I was blaming my fibromyalgia for my eyes hurting. I went to eye doctor and he informed me that my "eyes are a mess". He said my eyes were not producing tears and the surface of my eyes have all kinds of micro-abrasions. Has anyone out there had this problem?
1. The ghost image will only go away if it is due to dry eyes. If it is dry eyes it should go away after blinking or instilling artificial tears. If it doesn't it may be due to something else: needing glasses, incorrect glasses RX, poorly fitting contact lens, corneal disease other than dry eyes, cataracts or macular disease. No way I can tell you wish of these you have. 2. Find the best artificial tears for your eyes by trial and error and recording their effect.
I have been trying to find something to help my dry eyes. My Opthimal rubs a paper across my eyes which turns green. Her recommended medicine is Baush & Loom Soomth EP eye drops. Everytime I use them the next day the inside of my eyelids feel gritty like sandpaper. It is very uncomfortable. Retasis does the same thing. The Dr. tells me my dryness is between 3 and 4. Ocassionally my left eye swells and is painful. On thoses days I want to patch my eye to keep the light out.

I do the same drops and supplements! My eyes are extremely dry. I've heard that's really all you can do besides restasis. I've been drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and that seems to help as well. Let me know if you find any other cures.
