Glaucoma Disease

Nasonex

Question:

Hi, all, My internist is suggesting I switch from Allegra-D pills to Nasonex nasal spray to treat my allergies because of dry-mouth problems. However, I’m concerned because it’s a corticosteroid. Does anyone know anything about its safety for glaucoma patients? Thanks, Laura

The best treatment is to get shots to build up your tolerance so that you can stop taking any of those drugs.  Why not see an allergist for the problem? I think the type of Glaucoma you have is important in determining whether or not steroid medication can be a problem.  Best to discuss with the Dr treating your Glaucoma.
