xalatan
l have been taking Xalatan for a year and there has'nt been any side effects except my eyes feeling a bit dry l have developed some floaters but my doctor says it most likley has nothing to do with the xalatan ,
but the past few weeks it has been starting to sting or feel a bit , sometimes l put in two drops at a time instead of one , could putting too much in cause this soreness, is there an eye drop such as a lubricant eye drop l could take that relieves the soreness.
I HAVE BEEN TAKING COSOPT ABOUT 8AM AND 1100AM THEN I TAKE XALATAN ABOUT 9PM WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT.MY PRESSURES WENT FROM 30S TO TEENS IS THAT OK?TO KEEP USING THOSE TIMES OR SHOULD I TAKE A COSOPT AT 8AM XALATAN AT 11AM AND ANOTHER COSOPT AT 9PM.?

Have used Xalatan for several years with no rash. Added Trusopt 1 year ago and about 3 months ago I started with a rash on eyelids. Dermatologist treated for contact dermatitis Fluticasone Propionate cream with little result. Opthamologist treated for blepharitis with an antibiotic cream and eyelid wash, again no relief. I tried using Xalatan in AM rather than at nite, no change. Tried just Trusopt AM and early PM, no change.
Hi, my doctor would like me to have SLT in one eye (has a test) to lower my IOP (Xalatan is not enough apparently)...
I've red a couple of studies on SLT and some pretend that SLT is coutner indicated for Juvenile glaucoma (it could raise IOP instead of lowering it)
I'm 31 years old...
Any thoughts ?
Dear Sir,
I have retina detachments in both eyes after surgeries I had eye pressure problems but on last visit to doctor on wednesday my eye pressure were normal 14 (Right eye) and 9 (Left Eye) I am using using Cospt, Alphagan, Xalatan( Twice a day and Pilocarpine 2% six hourly.
How much can Xalatan lower IOPs by? If it is not enough to get into safe figures, can other prostaglandins be tried?
Is it realistic to hope that some of them will work for more than 2 or 3 years or is tolerance almost always built up to the drugs?
So I got prescribed a vaginal cream it comes with one applicator I'm not sure if the applicator is safe during pregnancy how far does the applicator go & how much do I put into the tube or can I just put it on my finger? Help !
I have been using Xalatan for the last 6 months for my eye pressure which was 23 and now is around 17.
Over the last 3-4 weeks I have eye pain in one of the eyes, consistent dull ache. I visited my Optho and had eye dilated and checked and everything looks fine. He changed the drops to Travatan. But the pain is still present after using travatan for like 2 weeks. What else can be the cause? What else should I try to find out?
How long would you say it would take pressure in eye to increase from normal to 50. I am on timoptol and xalatan at moment.
Are you sure the applicator is not meant for one-time use only? I use the Crinone gel and each dose is enclosed in one disposable (one-time-use) applicator. For safety, these are not meant to be reused as you could inadvertently give yourself an infection.
My understanding is the regular waxy progesterone suppositories do not come with an applicator as you just insert them with your finger.
s were slightly elevated (and an Aunt had glaucoma) but returned toward normal on Xalatan drops? Might she expect the cataract surgery itself to alter her pressures toward normal or should she have a combined laser filtering procedure? Thanks.
it depends which ones you would prefer to use, Tampax have the applicator and Kotex you just insert yourself. Since you haven't used them before I would opt for Tampax, since the applicator makes it easier to insert if you're not used to doing it...it can be strange at first and so the applicator ensures that it is inserted properly.
I had one at about 15 wks and I went to my dr and they gave me a cream that you put in with an applicator. They told me if I got another one I could use the monistat 7 day cream with the applicator or the 3 day. They just advise that you don't stick the applicator all the way in. Check with your doctor and they'll tell you what is best for you! Good luck!
I was diagnosed with glaucoma four years ago and was immediately put on Xalatan once a day both eyes. Two years later was taken off Xalatan and put on Cosopt & Alphagan, twice a day, Lumigan once a day, both eyes. For the past two years my diopter went from -4.00 both eyes, to -9.50 left eye, -7.00 right eye, as of today, in steady progression. I can already tell I'm probably not seeing 20/40 presently and need stronger contacts.
Has anyone experienced one while pregnant? I'm 37 weeks and have one for the first time. My ob-gyn prescribed a vaginal ointment for 7 days. It didn't say how far to insert the applicator, but I'm assuming as far as you can to get the medicine in. Has anyone used this? If so, how far did you insert applicator? It's just kinda freaking me out a little bit.
I have a yeast infection and my OB told me to get Monistat. I got the day 1 prefilled applicator. I read the directions & warnings several times before putting in the applicator and it didn't say can't use while pregnant, but when I googled it, it said it's category C by the FDA for pregnant women... I'm confused... Has anyone used it while pregnant? I'm 35 weeks.
But she came back with the ovule (tablet) monistat that you insert with the one applicator and cream ( 7 day treatment) I used it last night no troubles but the applicator was hard to get in even though I have used tampons before which are bigger.
One week before I got mono (5 days prior to first feeling achy and tired) I tried on some lip gloss at a sephora. I tried it on with an individual applicator but there is a chance I used the gloss applicator and not a disposable. It was a saturday 1.5 hours after the store opened. I actually thought better of it immediately and wiped it off my lips thinking that someone may have still contaminated the gloss by redipping or using the product applicator itself rather than the disposables.

I was not paying attention and all of a sudden I seen him dabbing a liquid applicator on my neck to stop the bleeding. I am very concerned and I have not been able to sleep, I am worried if the blade has blood on it from a previous person or if the applicator he used has blood on it from a previous person I can get infected with Hep A,B,C or even HIV. What should I do?? In 2006 I had a hep B shot and in 2008 had blood work done and it came back I am immune to hep B. Should I be concerned???
Fill the applicator up with the cream, lay down, & insert it. Put a pad on because it will come out a bit. It's best to do before bed.
remove the wrapper obviously and[ best way to do it] is relax, stand either feet apart knees slightly bent, insert the tampon with thumb and forefinger inside your vagina and gently push up until comfortable. then push the bottom part plastic tube applicator inside the top part holding now the ridgy bit in the middle that divide the 2. thats it pull the plastic applicator out your tampon should be in place. if you feel it at all inside when you walk etc its not in correctly or up far enough.
Make sure you get a thinner one to start and it is personal preference for what type of applicator. The plastic applicator brands seem pretty easy to start with. Sit on toilet, slide in, keep fingers midway and pull back the applicator which leaves the tampon in place. Wa la. Done. Dispose of (not in toilet). Then strings hang out for the tampon and you use those to remove it from you at the appropriate time. I believe there are instructions with the tampons as well.
