Expired meds
I had my second occurrence of iritis in 12 years in January / February 2005. I was prescribed Homatropine (Dilating drops) and Pred Forte (Steroid drops) and tested for HLA-B27 (I have the gene). The treatment worked well and it was gone in about 6 weeks. Last night (Saturday) my eye started feeling like it did before, by this morning I had all the symptoms of iritis. I had three choices, go to the emergency room and get misdiagnosed for pink eye like I did two times before, suffer till Monday, or self medicate. Because of the pain I choose the latter. My eye feels and looks a lot better now and I am going to see my ophthalmologist first thing in the morning. I was looking at the bottles and noticed the Homatropine expired 09/05 and the Pred Forte on 03/05. Should I stop now or continue till I see my ophthalmologist?
