Title: Does Medrol dose pack dry eyes?
Post by: ohiolady on April 08, 2015, 01:51:29 PM
Hi everyone,

I am currently taking a medrol dose pack and my eyes seem drier.  I don't see it as a side effect but thought I have seen this on forum.  I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

Anna

I can only speak for myself on the dry eyes and medrol pack. I did not have drier eyes while I was on it.

I have taken many Medrol packs and the only thing I had was some uneasiness/agitation that caused me to have a hard time going to sleep on the first couple of nights. Irish

I also never noticed it to dry my eyes more.

Thanks guys!  Must not be the medrol pack.  Irish, the few times I have taken I have gotten very agitated and get insomnia.  This time I am as calm as can be and slept fine.  Doctor told me to take as one dose first thing in the morning, not spread out over the day and I have had no problem.
