Optrex Intensive Eye drops - Dry Eyes

[DizzySquirrel90]

I had extremely dry sore eyes so I went to the cupboard and found the eye drops.

Optrex Intensive Eye drops - Dry Eyes

Without even thinking popped a drop in each eye, only afterwards to google it and find out these should NOT be used in pregnancy.

Please can someone advise me? Has anyone else done this and been ok? I'm 15 weeks

🥺 pls

I just googled optrex eye drops pregnancy and it seemed to say that it’s not known to be a hazard. Have you tried Googling it? This similar mumsnet thread also came up which might be helpful: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/3509940-25-weeks-pregnant-have-used-optrex-eye-drops

If you’re worried call the pharmacy but I do find that almost all medicines say not to use in pregnancy and a lot of the time it’s just because they haven’t been tested on pregnant women rather than them specifically being harmful. Sounds like you used hardly any at all so it doesn’t sound too worrying but like I say ring the pharmacist x
