Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / November 2003Allegra D
Is Allegra D safe for use in Diabetics and those with idiopathic eye proplems such as increased pressure without glaucoma. Info appreciated > Is Allegra D safe for use in Diabetics and those with idiopathic eye > proplems such as increased pressure without glaucoma. > Info appreciated Yes. There is a some chance of increasing the blood pressure with decongestants (the "D" part) but for most people the increase is minimal. There is no problem with the diabetes. There is some risk of taking decongestants in people with untreated closed angle glaucoma. The problem is that dilating the pupil can close off the canals and increase the pressure by preventing the efflux of fluid. If you don't have specifically untreated closed angle glaucoma (the less common type) then there should be no effect on intraocular pressures. -- CBI, MD >Is Allegra D safe for use in Diabetics and those with idiopathic eye >proplems such as increased pressure without glaucoma. >Info appreciated Ask your doctor _and_ pharmacist. -- There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice. Neither one had an opinion one way or the tother. They said just take it and you will know when it is bad or good.
