want NSAID for prevention of recurrence

Post by Marvi »

Hi,

I'm a new member. Guess I posted my first question in the wrong place. I'm experiencing another severe case of iritis within the past 6 months and hope members can recommend an effective (and not too pricey) NSAID drop to phase in as I am phasing out the Pred Forte. In the past I used Ocufen, but there may be better drugs out there now. Any help appreciated--my eye is getting damaged by all the cortisone!

Hi Marvi, welcome to the forums. So the iritis is normally treated with drops via steroids, NSAID are normally a pill. There are several people that can help and guide you but you need to find a specialist when it comes to selecting the right drugs. They don't work the same with all people.

There was a study that strongly supported the use of celebrex. N=59. I was thinking of taking celebrex during stressful periods even though my remission is several years.

Naproxen is another oral nsaid thst dr foster uses for recurrent iritis. Celecoxib is the generic name for celebrex. Nsaid drops Are not effective according to foster

The study is oral nsaids. Or systematic nsaids.
