Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The medications that you have listed aren't associated with small pupils also referred to as miosis.

Preferably, the eyes should be examined for direct and consensual light reflexes as well as to look for general integrity of the pupillary light reflex.

Opioids like fentanyl, methadone , nicotine containing products like tobacco and drugs such as tetrahydrozoline, clonidine and naphazoline can lead to small pupils / miosis.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
