Trusopt Side Effects

Trusopt is a prescription medication that is used for the treatment of high pressure within the eyes due to glaucoma, or various other eye-related conditions, like ocular hypertension. The medicine comes in eye drop form. Decreasing the raised levels of pressure within the eyes lowers the risk of blindness happening. As with any other medicine, there are possible side effects that could occur as a result of taking Trusopt eye drops.

  1. Common Side Effects

    • There are some rather common side effects of these eye drops. These common side effects are not considered to be cause for alarm, as they generally rapidly subside as the eyes get used to the medicine. However, if the side effects get worse or persist for a while, it might be necessary to consult your doctor. These side effects are stinging and burning, blurry vision, an unpleasant, bitter taste lingering in the mouth, dry eyes, the eyes being sensitive to sunlight, tearing, and redness of the eyes.

    Serious Side Effects

    • There are also serious side effects that could happen from Trusopt eye drops, namely irritation of the eyelids. If a person should experience this potentially harmful side effect, she must immediately seek emergency medical help.

    Allergic Reactions

    • Allergic reactions are also considered to be severe side effects of Trusopt eye drops. In situations of allergic reaction, it is vital to immediately seek medical assistance. Some signs of allergic reaction to Trusopt include trouble breathing, skin rash, breaking out into hives, itchiness, chest tightness, and swelling of the tongue, mouth, lips, and face.

    Rare and Serious Side Effects

    • There are some highly uncommon but potentially harmful side effects that could happen due to taking Trusopt. These side effects are kidney stone symptoms (like side, abdomen and back pain, changes in vision, blood in the urine, nausea, throwing up), abnormal fatigue and weakness, darker colored urine, bleeding and bruising easily, and infection symptoms (like lingering sore throat, chills, and fever).

    Caution

    • When considering whether to take Trusopt eye drops, it is very important to discuss your medical history and any current medical conditions with your doctor, especially if you have or have had kidney stones, kidney disease, or liver disease.
