Avatar f tn Part of this is that are very common symptoms on brimonidine In fact in 20% of glaucoma patients on the generic version the medication has to be stopped because of complaints of redness, irritation, pain and discomfort and dry mouth and bad taste in mouth. If you still have it read the package insert that you get when you get a new bottle of medicine. Or go on the internet and read the side effects.
Avatar n tn I had surgery and a stent was placed in my right eye. I have been taking Travatan Z drops from June until yesterday (10/13/16). I had an appointment with my eye doctor yesterday and he told me to stop taking the Travatan drops. I have noticed eyelash growth. I have discovered this is a side effect of the drops. Most of what I read says once the drops are discontinued, the eyelash growth is reversible. What does that mean? How is it reversible?
Avatar n tn I have not been cleared by my doctor to discontinue the nightly Travatan Z drop .....The surgeon turns his patients over to a optometrist in the practice for continued cataract care, so I haven't seen my doctor since the surgery. In a few days, I have an appointment with a rheumatologist (new patient) and plan to request corticosteroid shots in two fingers and foot. Do you believe there would be a problem with me having the shots? Or any other rheumatoid arthritis meds? Thank you....
Avatar n tn When a drug patent runs out, a (usually much) less-expensive generic drug comes onto the market, which is chemically and medically equivalent to the brand-name drug. If he's saying what I think he's saying, I'd like to know what the difference here could possibly be. How could the the equivalent be different?...and if its different, how could it be equivalent? If not, what does the other answer mean? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.

Avatar f tn I've done a little bit of research on this - not a lot, but some - and from what I see Acella is not a "generic" of Armour. A generic is a product made by another company that is equivalent to the brand name. Acella is not equivalent to the current Armour formulation, therefore, is not a generic of Armour.
Avatar m tn So, since I lost my health insurance I have had to buy generic Synthroid online from one of those Canadian Pharmacy things that sends those spam-type emails I was broke and almost out of meds so I took the bait. All has been well with it until I started having some really horrible night terrors. I'm talking NIGHT TERRORS, the kind that leave you paralyzed upon waking up. I didnt know if maybe it was because I went to buy GENERIC synthroid rather than the name brand. is that any different?

798555 tn?1292787551 Major stopped manufacturing their brand of generic dessicated (Armour equivalent) forever. But I found a few months available. Although 1 grain equals 65mg not 60 like Armour. More weight in fillers I guess, as it has 38 mgT4 and 9 mg T3 per grain just like Armour. My question is for any one that has used this Major Thyroid in the past and also used Armour. Could you tell a difference, any side effects I need to look for? Odd brand.
Avatar n tn And the new doctor suggested to use Travatan. Is there any difference between Latanoprost and Travatan?
