Specializes in Family Medicine

See below: Blurred vision, eye pain r side effects that need to be reported to the prescribing doc asap. U may require a different medication to treat your condition. Do u take any other meds? If so, may be the combination that's causing problem, but doc needs to know that you're having vision problems.
