Anyone know about side effects of meds? Having a problem. Not listed on the leaflets! IS ANYONE A GP/PHARMACIST??

I seem to be going bloody BLIND!! Not a migrane - I get those and this is different. It's like there's a film over my eyes, I can't focus properly. Can't see anything. I read the leaflets but there's no mention of this for any of them! Just wondered if any of you had experienced this with any of the following -
(I'm just going to list all the stuff - my list of suspects as it were!)

ventolin inhalor
seretide inhalor
dovobet ointment
Xenical
co-codamol
diazepam
furosemide
co-amoxiclav
gentisone ear drops
prednisolone - although I haven't had a course of those for a while, so probably not relevent, but all the others are current.

Anyone know anything? I know a couple of you are medical folk!!

Yes, you can buy that dose over the counter so it may not be the cause. I think the only other one that would give you a fuzzy head would be the Diazepam. Give the GP a ring just for reasssurance.

Yes, even better idea Strawberry, ringing the pharmacist is a good move.

Well, just phoned pharmacist who said that none of the medications would cause that side effect. asked me if there was any pain or other symptoms, asked if I had hurt the back of my neck or put any pressure on it Told me it might be a 'transient' thing, something unrelated to the medications and if it's still blurry in a couple of hours, to see gp.

Sounded deeply unimpressed to have been called.

Thanks for input folks. Will give it a bit and see if it clears up.
