Question 1

side effects of corneal collagen crosslinking?

Accepted Answer

Crosslinking: Corneal cross linking is a procedure designed to strengthen the chemical bonds in the cornea to prevent or stabilize ectasia (usually from keratoconus or following lasik). This uses uv light and a photosensitizer. Possible side effects include corneal swelling, infection, temporary haziness, and scarring. See http://eyewiki.Aao.Org/corneal_collagen_cross-linking for much more detail.

Question 2

are there any side effects from taking collagen injection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Collagen for injection is derived from either a human or an animal source. Collagen of the lattter type can cause allergic reactions that are sometimes signficant because animal collagen differs very slightly from human collagen.  A skin test can detect most allergic responses ahead of time. Repeat injections over time can result in rare bumps in the skin due to trauma.

Question 3

is drinking collagen recommended for anti ageing or will there be any side effects in the long run?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: If you want to make your own just save your nail clippings &amp; grind them up to use in a drink. They are just another protein source. Supplements are not regulated nor do they have to prove their many claims in the USA. Use if you wish &amp; believe the claims if you wish.

Question 4

i'm now consuming pure marine collagen and heard people been talking about the side effects. is there any research on side effects of  this?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: &quot;Pure marine collagen&quot; is not an FDA approved medication, which means there is probably not any good research on the product itself.  It is even less likely that there is any research on &quot;side effects&quot; of the product.

Question 5

any side effects of taking a collagen capsule containing hydrolyzed marine collagen and elastin polypeptides?  will it affect the birth control pill?

Accepted Answer

Collagen capsules: No you should not have any side effects and the capsule should not intrfere with your birth control tablets

Question 6

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 7

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.

Question 8

what are side effects of a d and c?

Accepted Answer

Cramping & Spotting: A dilation & currettage (D&C) may cause mild cramping and spotting & this should not be severe. Ibuprofen usually works well & your discomfort should only last a few days. Call your doc if pain increases, increased bleeding, fevers, foul-smelling discharge, or if you don't improve as expected. Take care.

Question 9

what are the nutrilite bio c side effects? is advisable to take it?

Accepted Answer

Overall safe: As it's really just a different "delivery mechanism" to get vitamin C into your system.  And vitamin C is fairly well tolerated, assuming you don't take very high doses which might set you up for kidney stones, or create problems if you have abnormal red blood cells or iron storage issues.  But in general, consider trying to increase your consumption of fruit to get natural sources of vitamin C.

Question 10

what is the side effects of c-lium?

Accepted Answer

Psyllium?: Can cause gas, bloat, cramps, loose stool. Take with plenty of water, so it won't "clog the pipes".
