Lumigan I found out is really harsh. In fact the doc took me off it
because of the side effects. I wonder if it's getting into your sinuses
thru your eyeducts as you sleep at night. Maybe this is causing the sore
throat.

Me (Cosopt, alphagan, travatan).
Could have never connected eyedrops and dry throat (would blame the
all-night aircondition before that).

Interesting to read this..I am taking Lumigan and Alphagan and find I have
dry throat and sort of a phlegm voice when I speak for any length of time. I
am a former singer and never suffered from that in my life so I guess its a
side effect of the drops..Could be worse though.. Diva 3

If you don't use care when applying the drops and allow some to run down
into your tear ducts they will get into your sinuses and eventually your
throat. Blocking the tear duct with your finger or just keeping your eyes
closed tightly for about a minute should help prevent this. Works for me
anyway.
