Common Questions and Answers about Xalatan pfizer

xalatan

Avatar n tn Pfizer makes Xalatan. By the way, if you use pills, your MD (I doubt) will agree, because the drug is not concentrated in the eye, plus you have "systemic" side effects because the drug is running through your body (rather than staying mostly in the eye). Xalatan, and the others that are similar lower IOP more than other drug classes...you need to ask what your IOP is and see that it stays in the healthy range, since glaucoma damage can be permanent. However...
17644146 tn?1458782868 I wonder if anyone was ever using the brand name Xalatan and then had to switch to the Greenstone generic brand (supposedly made by same company- Pfizer). If so has it worked okay? My insurance might not cover the brand name any longer, which I have been taking for about 30 years, and wants me to switch to generic. (Insurance company and pharmaceutical companies are driving me crazy with their prices, etc.
17644146 tn?1458782868 Does anyone take Xalatan? I picked up my new bottle of Xalatan today and I noticed the pharmacist didn't take it from the refrigerator, but took it off the shelf where she keeps all her prescriptions. I asked her if she shouldn't have had it in the refrigerator since yesterday when I called in the refill. She said one day out of the refrigerator would not harm the unopened Xalatan. When I got home I put it in my fridge.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar m tn I MISSED A COUPLE DOSES OF COSOPT AND XALATAN THE PAST MONTH SHOULD I JUST GO ON WITH MY REGULAR SCHEDULE/
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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 ?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn Pfizer called me back and said it's corn starch. I don't understand why these companies use allergans as fillers when most people with thyroid problems have multiple food allergies.
Avatar m tn 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.
20856219 tn?1541792336 The data from Israel and UK which is mostly being relied on as the US is terrible at collecting data due to our private sector health care system, but Israel almost exclusively used the Pfizer and the UK used mostly the Pfizer and AstraZeneca, so Moderna probably has fewer people who have been studied so far.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn sorry,i know it's not a really question;i'm taking salazopyrin en-pfizer for 3 years,but now,i cannot find it..only sulfasalazin en-krka...i'm skared about it,but it's necessary to change it...what can you tell me about that?pfizer it's a name...krka should be?
Avatar n tn Lyrica has not been shown to have brain tumors in human beings. At least I am not aware of it. I am providing you with a link from the Pfizer Company on the drug: http://emc.medicines.org.uk/emc/assets/c/html/DisplayDoc.asp?DocumentID=14651 No evidence of meningioma or other brain tumors have been documented in preclinical studies on mice and rats as per this site. However the drug is still under research by Pfizer for certain indications and also for safety labelling.
Avatar m tn t think sinopharm is as effective as Pfizer vaccine, I wanted to to do Pfizer in first place, mrna is best vaccine according to my understandings
1310633 tn?1430224091 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, helped by costs cuts and growing sales of recently approved cancer medicines. The largest U.S. drugmaker said it earned $2.59 billion, or 39 cents per share in the quarter, compared with $3.21 billion, or 43 cents per share, in the year-earlier period. Excluding special items, Pfizer earned 58 cents per share. Analysts, on average, expected 56 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Avatar f tn See, this is what I mean. I've read that the Moderna vaccine has had fewer significant side effects as the Pfizer, which isn't really a Pfizer vaccine but a BioNTech vaccine, has had more allergic reactions. But again, so far most of the evidence is anecdotal, and I don't have a choice as to which vaccine I'm getting. I really don't know. I guess I'll find out when they tell me how long it is before I get the 2d shot.
Avatar f tn In the US, we're now being told that if you got J&J to booster it with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, as they have so far proven to be the most protective and safest vaccines to take. Covishield is India's version of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is similar to the J&J in both effectiveness and problems.
Avatar m tn Pfizer has a patient assistance program that may help you. Go to pfizerhelpfulanswers.com and you can search to see what they may have available. You may also want to check with your local social services department - you may qualify for some assistance through them since your medical costs are so high. Best of luck!
