Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision After Taking Risorine And Combutol
HI, I am Mr. Anil. i have tuberculosis problem. i take Risorine and combutol 800 medicine for past 3 months. after taking this medicine i have problem with my eye. i could see properly. my eyes is blurring. so please help me what can i do thanks Anil
Thank you for the query. As per the history, you are on an Anti-tubercular regimen - Risorine (Rifampicin) and Combutol (Ethambutol) for three months and you have developed blurring of your vision. In this context, I would advise you to get a thorough eye check up done, including fundoscopy. Ethambutol is known for its side effects ophthalmological like Optic neuritis (where vision is blurred and it is painful) and Red green colour blindness (apart from hepatic function derangement and joint pain). To rule out this, you need to go for an eye examination as soon as possible. Hope this helps you.
