Dry Eye Syndrome

Posted by Gretchen @gretchen, Nov 3, 2011

Does anyone have experience/success with finding an antihypertensive drug that will not exacerbate dry eyes? Since June I have tried metropolol, bystolic, diltiazem ER, and hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension ... all have significantly aggravated my existing dry eye condition.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Eye Conditions Support Group.

I am using norvasc it seems to work fine. I already have dry eyes and I thought it was making it worse but I am not sure it is anymore after a week of use.

Thank you so much syntax 2002 for this info. re. Norvasc. Yes, it is not always clear at the beginning to know whether a drug is making dry eyes worse, or not. If you feel like it a few weeks down the road, let me know how you're doing. I am, of course, interested. Appreciative, Gretchen
