Is Oxybutynin dangerous to dogs? I am not sure my dog ate a pill, but I did drop 1 or 2 on the floor. I found one. My 6-month-old spaniel/lab mix is about 30 lbs.
Funny enough you mention this I took Oxybutynin for awhile and a bit excessively, I keep thinking that this messed up my gut and caused this curse of a phenomenon.
Can I take 2 or 3 Ibuprofen and 1 phenazoptridine 100mg and 1 oxybutynin 5mg The Dr, gave me Cipro to take 2 hrs, before I go to Drs, will this help me or not? If not what can I do to prevent the bad pain I hear about after stent removal. please help me.
I'm 33 year old male, I was diagnosed with phimosis 2yrs ago. I've been having the constant urge to urinate but with only a low flow and sometimes spraying. I've been through testing for uti, std, bladder cancer (cystoscopy) but yet know one can give me an answer as to why I always have the urge. I've taken meds (flomax, oxybutynin, and diptromin) none of them worked. Help!!! I'm to young for this to be happening.
Hello Everyone,
I am a 32 male, 5'10, 205lbs. I work out 5-6 times a week and eat on the healthier side. As far back as I can remember I get hot extremely easily and sweat profusely on my forehead, middle of my chest, and middle of my back. The heat seems to come in almost a wave, and I can feel it rising until it reaches my head(hope this description makes sense), and I can never seem to cool down. An odd part about this is, on occasion, my feet will be extremely cold at the same time.
Hi, The med methotextrate has a warning on the packet in australia for sun exposure. It has a warning that sun exposure can make you feel ill and exacerbate any symptoms. Hope this help Take care.
Get your urologist or GP to prescribe you an anti-spasmodic medication. I use Oxybutynin, as it works best for me, but there are numerous others on the market.
Are you sure your stone is 4cm??? That's awfully large for a kidney-stone. There are 'staghorn' stones that form inside the kidney itself and fill the cavities of the kidney (the 'poles' of the kidney) that may get that large, but the chances of having a 4cm stone in your bladder are slim.
The general incidence of glaucoma in the general populations with special risk factors that live a normal life span is 2% among high myopes (and your are barely hi myope and at age 18 very unlikely you will get beyound -7.00) the risk may be double, which sounds bad, but that is only 4% so most high myopes don't get glaucoma. Glaucoma is harder to diagnose because of 2 reasons: 1. The cup/disc ratio is larger in myopes 2. the cornea is generally thinner .
You should see a glaucoma specialist (ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma) for a full glaucoma evaluation to make sure you do not have the early signs of glaucoma. He/she could check you for narrow angle glaucoma (gonioscopy), pigment dispersion, pseudo-exfoliation, etc. as these are causes of glaucoma frequently missed by non-specialists and they could also perform an optic nerve OCT exam which will demonstrate whether there is any early damage from glaucoma.
I think it very important that you get a second opinion from a glaucoma specialist that you have glaucoma. If you do the preferred treatment is likely NOT drops but SLT or ALT laser. As often as 70% of the time that controls glaucoma and drops are not needed only careful follow up.
Exercises will not help glaucoma, using your eyes does not cause glaucoma. If there is a medical school in Costa Rica that might work.
My guess is that glaucoma cannot be easily detected. Yes, there maybe idications of glaucoma if a patient has an elevated IOP and c/d ratio. However, the cause of those things may not be glaucoma. Although, the first possible cause on the list may be glaucoma, it may not be the correct diagnosis, which is why the other tests are called for.
But this is all just a guess since I'm not a doctor. Why not just ask your ophthalmologist?
Glaucoma does not cause myopia but a developing cataract often causes increasing levels of myopia. Your glaucoma seems fairly mild so you should have no problem with cataract surgery. People with glaucoma have cataract surgery all the time. I did 2 patients much like you today. Now if glaucoma is severe and uncontolled on 2 or 3 meds, them sometimes a glaucoma filtering surgrey is combined with the cataract surgery - but that is not your case.
My father was diagnosed with glaucoma roughly 5-6 years ago. The glaucoma was quite rapid, and is uncurable. The best doctors can do is slow down the process of him losing his sight. He has been in hospital on countless occasions, and has had many serious operations.
I've heard Glaucoma is genetic. Being the anxious individual i am, i am somewhat cautious as to whether or not i will be affected by Glaucoma. As of what is known at the present time, no other family members have had Glaucoma.
1. glaucoma can be difficult to diagnose and often requires special tests. So yes you could have glaucoma and not show up with retina exam
2. THere are other causes of halos than glaucoma.
I suggest you get your general care from a comprehensive general ophthalmologist instead of an optometrist. Find one near you at www.aao.
There are 4 types of glaucoma medications for glaucoma that work by different mechanisms. So maximum glaucoma therapy would be being on all 4 types. Note this is not 4 brands but 4 types: 1. prostaglandin analogue 2. carbonic anhydrase inhibitor 3. beta blocker 4. alpha adrenergic receptor agonist
Your father would need to be on all 4 types for maximum therapy.
No it is not true with glaucoma. Glaucoma is not one disease but a group of perhaps 15 different types of pressure problems. Most people never go blind the most common type of glaucoma does its damange over decades, however angle closure glaucoma can blind an eye in less than 24 hours.
I'm going to follow this post with a previous one about glaucoma but first I want to address you situation. It is far more likely you DON"T have glaucoma than you do have it. MOST IMPORTANT: be sure the 'eye doctor' you saw was an Eye MD ophthalmologist. They have the best training and skill to make the diagnosis. If you saw a non-MD non-physician optometrist then go to see an Eye MD. You can ask your family MD for a referral.
PS. The other drugs I'm taking are...Chlortalidone, Oxybutynin, and Lisinopril. I take cal/citrate, fish oil, flax and E along with those prescribed meds.
My 7 y.o. is awaiting a pediatric urology appt but is currently taking oxybutynin 10 mg. After months of her primary thinking it was vag related, a ped gyn dx'd bladder contraction/spasms. These are daily... all day... and now waking her in the night. She is going half crazy from the constant discomfort, which she eases by pressing on her vag area. This is interfering, of course, with her everday life.
