Consider Cataracts Before Prescribing Alpha Blockers for Your Patients

If you're about to prescribe an alpha blocker for an older adult with hypertension or a prostate or urinary retention problem, consider whether the patient has cataracts before you prescribe.

I had a cataract surgery in my right eye.....so I teld to my Dr.Shedo...I was taking Flomax 4mg. pill and he did not say any thing about it.
Coudt have any complication after the surgery.....because....now I am seeing a lot of blak dots....and itch me and burn my eyes

Probably not. Not that what you are experiencing after the cataract surgery is good, but there really wouldn't be much for him to "say about it"

They do more prep for the surgery and do the surgery a bit different, but they wouldn't "say anything"

They use different drops, and a bit of a different cataract surgery technique...

(note: this is not medial advice, always tell your doctor/surgeon of all medications you are taking!)
