Common Questions and Answers about Lotemax mechanism of action

lotemax

Avatar m tn I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
Avatar n tn Studys have shown no measurable system levels after chronic installation of Lotemax. Of course prudent medicine stipulates the patient should be monitored. Bottom line there is no potent ocular steroid available that offers the same potent efficacy and placebo like safety that Lotemax delivers.
Avatar n tn I had a vitrectomy plus cataract removal surgery about 13 days ago. First 5 days was 6 drops of Tobradex per day and then just 4 drops per day u til today. On day 6, pressure was good according to my doc but today on day 13, pressure had gone above 30. My doctor said i would have to stop using Tobradex as the steroid has caused the raised eye pressure and prescribed instead Lotemax and Cravit to be used 6 times a day and Azarga 2 times a day.
Avatar m tn I know of Lotemax but there is no generic. Sorry. It never hurts to ask your doctor for a sample. Give them a sad story and complain a lot - it usually works. Lodeprednol is Lotemax.
Avatar m tn The mechanism of action of CampralĀ® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

Avatar m tn Oyakawa I am in my 3rd year of medical school and I was wondering the mechanism of action of steroid injections in the eyelid causing cataracts. It is not an osmotic agent so why does that occur? thanks so much.
Avatar m tn Is zylet cortiosteriod/antibiotic a good alternative to Lotemax + asasite. Asasite burns a lot and is very uncomfortable twice a day to use.
Avatar n tn Lotemax is a steroid with less incidence of steroid problems. If FML did not work Lotemax may not. It is worth a try. Dr. O.

Avatar n tn I went to the new "neighborhood" optometrist for a routine eye exam. He said my eyes were "completely and perfectly healthy". I complained of my contacts being blurry. He felt that it was because I had astigmatism and prescribed Toric contacts. He mentioned that I had a lot of protein build up on my contacts and did a stain and he said I had dry eye. He prescribed Lotemax .05 as a first step therapy.
Avatar f tn As soon as I got off that month of lotemax, my eye is constantly discharging. Sometimes watery, usually thick, and can be clear or green/yellow. I even feel a pressure build up in my tear duct when I blow my nose or turn upside down. Mucous is actually even forced out sometimes when I blow my nose. The lotemax and cleanser don't help at all. I've been to my doctor multiple times now and these visits are expensive and I feel like I'm not getting anywhere.
Avatar f tn Weeks go by and still no relief, i still have pain(pinching/peircing sensation above eye, and general all over eye discomfort). I stop taking lotemax on suggestion of EMT neighbor. Eye calms down and now just have piercing/pinching pain only. I go see another Dr. He listens to story, looks at eye, puts me on Prednisone. Weeks pass, still pain. Call several times, finally get an appointment again. Looks at eye, prescribes cat scan.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Lotemax for a few months. My doctor said as long as my IOP remains low I can take this for years. If I develop a cataract from this and have to have surgery will cataract continue to comeback if I continue taking Lotemax?
Avatar f tn Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.
184420 tn?1326739808 I had the same problem and the eye dr gave me restasis and Lotemax. Restasis takes about 3 months of use before it actually works,thats where the Lotemax kicks in-it is a steroid that helps the Restasis get to work faster.No more problems for me.Chronic Dry Eyes will do this to you.I was miserable with mine.
Avatar m tn I am truly upset with the outcome and am hoping for ome advice in your experience whether pressures of 58 and my continued use of a steriod Lotemax is causing continued damage to my eyes which before the irrodotomies were perfectly healthy. I might add the procedure itself has only caused me white horizontal lines in my vision and slightly less focus but I understood from forums online this may be the case although the doctors performing told me of none of these side affects.
Avatar f tn It seems to be very slowly detaching with the use of Lotemax and Nevanac eye drops, with a small section yet to go. Today I experienced a sharp pain in my left eye while reaching for something, then a couple minutes of tears flowing. I've experienced that pain (tho not as sharp) a couple of times during this period. Felt like an eyelash in the eye, but there was nothing visible in my eye. bWhat are the possible causes? Could it be the membrane separating?
Avatar n tn Being fair-skinned with blue eyes, I've always had an issue with redness, but have been able to control it with Bausch & Lomb Opcon eye drops. However, a couple of years ago it got to the point where that wasn't working any more, so I went to an ophthalmologist in Orlando who examined me and said there was nothing wrong.

Avatar m tn Di I have to use the topical steroid for the rest of my life...added more, I have large optic disk, with normal visual field. Seek your opinion.
Avatar n tn Lotemax is a steroid. You should get the instructions from the MD that prescribed them.
Avatar n tn Not sure if thats a side effect of lotemax/xiidra or if its an underlying cause of my condition. I also notice a film that covers my cornea from time to time. Is this cornea haze? As always any input is greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.

Gastroenterology. 2010 Jul;139 The therapeutic mechanisms of ribavirin for hepatitis C are unclear. Microarray analyses have shown that ribavirin increases induction of interferon-stimulated genes. We evaluated viral kinetics, serum cytokine expression, and viral mutagenesis during early stages of peginterferon therapy with and without ribavirin.
Avatar n tn I have read that if you are having chronic red eyes it could be a underlying disease, what kind of diseases do you think would cause red eyes every morning, of the top of your head? My friend said that he had a problem just like this and he said it was his liver.
1958686 tn?1468782903 I actually was finally able to get in to get checked and was put on Lotemax with much improvement. Eyes were very inflamed but doc felt it wasn't related to the surgery. Hmmmm.
