A member asked:
Is pilocarpine 2% eye drops safe to take for severe keratoconjuctivitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why: Pilocarpine is not commonly used these days although it is a terrific drop to treat glaucoma. It has no effectiveness for keratoconjunctivitis so why is this being proposed for this condition?
