So do these mitomycin eye drops get into the system in the same way as mitomycin would if given introveneously?
Brief Answer:
the risk is less than iv but present
Detailed Answer:
HI
The risk of entering the system is less than if used intravenously but it is still possible.
Most persons do not experience systemic side effects and only experience irritation of the eye itself but everyone responds differently to medication.
If you believe it is contributing to how you are feeling then you may want to consider speaking to your doctor
