Lotemax kinda scares me :(

24-Aug-2007, 02:44

I took lotemax for 3 weeks and I don't see any side effects but I just found out about those side effects and now im little paranoid, when they say prolong use do they mean like using it straight for 5 years or something. because I don't want to get any of those bad side effects. Also how can you be check to make sure you didnt get any of those side effects?

Just follow your doctor's instructions, which presumably include going to the doctor to have your eye pressure checked at regular intervals.

My doc won't let me use it for more than 3 weeks at a time.
