Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

im using alomide n tears naturalle for my dry eyes but they r still itching and very red. what must i do?

Accepted Answer

Double whammy: Dryness makes the eye allergies worse because the allergens are not rinsed away in the tears as much as they normally are. Reduce exposure to the allergen if you can. Rinse your eyes with tap water several times per day before placing your eye drops. If that is not sufficient, there are additional allergy and dry eye treatments: Oral allergy tabs (but increase dryness), punctum plugs, Restasis.

Question 5

what are the effects of accidentally swallowing alomide eye drops ?

Accepted Answer

None: Alomide  drops are for allergies. I doubt you would get enough systemically to even cause any side effects unless you drank the entire bottle.

Question 6

i need a refill on my medication?

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Question 8

need advice on asthma medication ?

Accepted Answer

Many types...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin) or levalbuterol (Xopenex) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an another medication that can be used.

Question 9

why am i depressed while on medication?

Accepted Answer

Approaching: depression wi multiple modalities is best. There are many
things you can do for depression.  Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or &gt; of sleep per night &amp; eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +.  Recommend the “Feeling Good Book" by Dr. David Burns. Don't just read it - DO IT!

Question 10

are ther new medications forms on the horizon?

Accepted Answer

Several: Now that we have studies showing that long-term benefits for interferons and Copaxone are likely minimal at best, and that 60% of pts do not do well by 2 yrs, we are starting to see the emergence of far more potent meds.  Gilenya and tysabri (natalizumab) are here.  Tecfedera is close, lemtrada by end of year.  Daclizumab, ocrelizumab, the newer s-1-p drugs being looked at.  Even new drug for spasticity.
