It is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.

Question 7

Can the use of Flodart Plus Capsule PR have any impact on my cataract surgery?

Accepted Answer

Use of Flodart Plus Capsule PR can cause floppy eye syndrome. In this, the muscles of the iris become floppy, and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, the pupil constricts unexpectedly. This restricts the field of surgery, which affects the surgical outcomes. Inform your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you are taking this medicine or if you have used this medicine in the last 9 months.

Question 8

Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your prostate symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push while urinating. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol and caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. You should also avoid medicines that tend to worsen urinary symptoms, like some over-the-counter medicines for cold and cough.
