Is Cataract a serious side effect?

Whether Cataract is serious depends on the medicine, the dose, how long you have been taking it, and your overall health. Mild and self-limiting reactions are common. Stop the medicine and seek medical help right away if the reaction is severe, sudden, accompanied by trouble breathing, chest pain, or other red-flag symptoms.

What should I do if I think a medicine is causing Cataract?

Do not stop a prescription medicine on your own - some medicines need to be tapered. Note when the symptom started in relation to the medicine, contact your prescribing clinician, and consider asking GoDavaii's AI to cross-check your full medicine list against the 40,000+ pair interaction database for free.
