A member asked:
Restasis, pataday, lotemax (loteprednol) and azasite, which can cause the most excessive tearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Restasis: Restasis is a drug which causes dramatically increased tearing. Lotemax (loteprednol) may cause a slight increase in tearing. Pataday will reduce tearing and Azasite has no effect on tearing.
