Drugs with adverse effects in opthalmic patients

Post by blackeye »

Mike,

Could Methocarbamol (Robaxacet) be included in this list?
I've had iritis in my left eye for 13 years. The original flareup came following some long term major back pain I was experiencing and I was taking Robaxacet at the time. Over the following 13 years I experienced back pain on a number of occasions, but never took Robaxacet for it. I had more flareups but it they were never as bad as the first and I'm not sure whether they were at the same time as the back pain or not.
Just recently I've had some back pain that has lasted about a month. Just four days ago I started taking Robaxacet and today have started feeling some pain in my RIGHT eye (something I have always feared might happen) although my left eye seems to be unaffected.
I realize it may be the seriousness of the inflamation itself... but I'm going to stop taking the medication just in case.

Thanks,
S.Black

http://www.uveitis.org/patients/educati ... e-medicine
talks about some 'natural biologicals' that do help with treatment in uveitis patients .
it also explains how these things work to suppress inflammatory disease processes. some interact negatively when combined with Prescription medications.
some act to increase immune response as with TNF A production etc which is NOT wanted during uveitis.
