Sometimes they are combined with antihistamines. These eye drops need a prescription: cromolyn ( Crolom) lodoxamide ( Alomide) nedocromil sodium ( Alocril ) pemirolast potassium ( Alamast) Ketorolac ( Acular or Acuvail0 is another kind of eye drop. It relieves itchy eyes, usually in about an hour. It can sting or burn at first. Steroid eye drops like loteprednol ( Alrex and Lotemax) treat severe, long-lasting eye allergies. They are usually used only for a short time because they can cause serious side effects.
system: How can you reduce symptoms of eye allergies?
output: Wear sunglasses when you go outside. They'll block some of the pollen and other outdoor allergens from getting into your eyes. Rinse your eyes with preservative-free saline water or apply a cold, wet washcloth. Use lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to moisten dry eyes and wash out allergens.

system: When should you call your doctor about eye allergies?
output: If you're still having symptoms, your doctor may suggest allergy shots.
system: What triggers eye allergies?
output: Eye allergies are also known as "allergic conjunctivitis." Just like any other allergic reaction, they are caused by a misfiring of the immune system, the body's natural defense mechanism.
system: What can you be allergic to if you have eye allergies?
output: You can be allergic to: Pollen from grasses, weeds, and trees. These are the most common kinds of eye allergies and are called seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Dust, pet dander, and other indoor allergens. These eye allergies last year-round and are called chronic (perennial) conjunctivitis. Makeup, perfume, or other chemicals can trigger eye allergies called contact conjunctivitis. An allergy to contact lenses, called giant papillary conjunctivitis, can cause bumps on the inside of your eyelid, making your eyes sensitive and red both with and without wearing your contact lenses.
system: When do you need shots for eye allergies?
output: If you're still having symptoms, your doctor may suggest allergy shots. With allergy shots, your body is exposed to increasing amounts of an allergen over time and gradually gets used to it. Depending on the cause of your allergies, oral tablets or drops that work much like allergy shots could be used instead.
system: What happens when you have eye allergies?
output: The usual suspects -- pollen, dust mites, pet dander, feathers, and other indoor or outdoor allergens -- can set off eye allergy symptoms. It releases histamine, a chemical that causes swelling and inflammation. The blood vessels in your eyes swell and your eyes get red, teary, and itchy.

To treat them, find out what triggers them and stay ahead of the symptoms. Eye drops and other medications can bring relief. When you have allergies, your body reacts to things that aren't really harmful, like pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander.
system: What drugs can cause lactic acidosis?
output: Some medical conditions can also bring on lactic acidosis, including: Cancer Seizures Liver failure Vitamin B deficiency Sepsis (a whole-body inflammation caused by severe infection) Shock Some drugs, including metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes, and all nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ( NRTI) drugs used to treat HIV/ AIDS can cause lactic acidosis. If you are on any of these medications and have any symptoms of lactic acidosis, get medical help immediately.
system: What are the symptoms of lactic acidosis?
output: The symptoms may include a burning feeling in your muscles, cramps, nausea, weakness, and feeling exhausted. It's your body's way to tell you to stop what you're doing The symptoms happen in the moment. The soreness you sometimes feel in your muscles a day or two after an intense workout isn't from lactic acidosis. It's your muscles recovering from the workout you gave them.
system: How can intense exercise cause lactic acidosis?
output: When you exercise, your body uses oxygen to break down glucose for energy. During intense exercise, there may not be enough oxygen available to complete the process, so a substance called lactate is made. Your body can convert this lactate to energy without using oxygen. But this lactate or lactic acid can build up in your bloodstream faster than you can burn it off. The point when lactic acid starts to build up is called the "lactate threshold."
system: How can you prevent lactic acidosis?
output: Don't go from being a couch potato to trying to run a marathon in a week. Start with an aerobic exercise like running or fast walking. You can build up your pace and distance slowly. Increase the amount of exercise each week so your body builds up a tolerance. This will increase your "lactate threshold," making it less likely you'll get lactic acidosis. Make sure you drink lots of water. It helps get rid of any excess acid. Eat a balanced diet which includes lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. Get plenty of sleep at night and give yourself time to recover between bouts of exercise. How long that is depends on how you feel. If your lactic acidosis is caused by a disease or medication, talk to your doctor. You may be able to make changes that will help you avoid the problem. And talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
system: What medical conditions can cause lactic acidosis?
output: Some medical conditions can also bring on lactic acidosis, including: Cancer Seizures Liver failure Vitamin B deficiency Sepsis (a whole-body inflammation caused by severe infection) Shock Some drugs, including metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes, and all nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ( NRTI) drugs used to treat HIV/ AIDS can cause lactic acidosis.
system: What do doctors typically recommend for people with nasal allergies?
output: Nasal steroid sprays are available over the counter or by prescription. They are one of the first treatments recommended for nasal allergies. Flonase, Nasacort Allergy 24 HR, and Rhinocort are available over the counter. Examples of prescription steroid nasal sprays include Beconase, Dymista, Nasarel, Nasonex, Qnasl, Vancenase, Veramyst, and Zetonna. How steroid nasal sprays work: These drugs decrease inflammation within the nasal passages, thereby relieving nasal symptoms.
system: How do you use steroid nasal sprays and what are the side effects?
output: Use: Gently shake the container. Blow the nose to clear the nostrils. Close (pinch) one nostril, and insert nasal applicator into the other nostril. Press the applicator to release the spray. Side effects: These sprays may cause nasal irritation, nosebleed or sore throat.
system: What are the treatments for stage IV prostate cancer?
output: In this stage, you should consider the following treatments: Hormone therapy, which is often combined with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy Surgery to relieve symptoms such as bleeding or urinary obstruction and to remove cancerous lymph nodes External radiation with or without hormone therapy Chemotherapy, if standard treatments don't relieve symptoms and the cancer continues to grow. The drugs will shrink cancer cells and slow their growth. Bisphosphonate drugs, which can help slow the growth of cancer in the bone and help prevent fractures The vaccine sipuleucel- T ( Provenge), which boosts your immune system so it will attack the cancer cells. This might be used when hormone therapy doesn't work. Palliative care, which offers you relief from symptoms like pain and trouble peeing Clinical trials are testing new treatments. They can give you state-of-the-art cancer treatments or newer ones that aren't available yet. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial might be right for you.
system: What is stage I prostate cancer?
output: The cancer is small, and it hasn't grown outside your prostate. Slow-growing cancers might never cause symptoms or other health problems. In this stage, your PSA levels and Gleason scores are low, and that's good. When they're higher, your cancer is more aggressive. It's also more likely to come back and require more intensive treatment.
system: What is stage II prostate cancer?
output: The cancer is much larger, but it hasn't spread outside your prostate. Your PSA levels and Gleason scores are also higher. Surgery or radiation is often needed to keep it from spreading.
system: What is stage III prostate cancer?
output: Radical prostatectomy The cancer has spread beyond your prostate, but it hasn't reached your bladder, rectum, lymph nodes, or nearby organs.
system: How does a radical prostatectomy treat prostate cancer?
output: This is a surgery to remove your prostate and some of the surrounding tissue.
system: How does active surveillance treat prostate cancer?
output: Your doctor tracks your PSA levels. If those levels rise, it might mean your cancer is growing or spreading. Your doctor can then change your treatment. He might also do tests like rectal exams and ultrasounds.
system: How does watchful waiting treat prostate cancer?
output: This involves fewer tests than active surveillance. Your doctor keeps a close watch on your symptoms. If you're an older man, or you have other serious health problems, your doctor might opt for this method.
system: How do PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels determine the stage of prostate cancer?
output: Your doctor tracks your PSA levels. If those levels rise, it might mean your cancer is growing or spreading. Your doctor can then change your treatment.
system: What is stage IV prostate cancer?
output: This happens when your cancer has spread to the bladder, rectum, lymph nodes, organs, or bones. Cases of stage IV are rarely cured. Still, treatments can extend your life and ease your pain.
system: What are the treatments for stage III prostate cancer?
output: With stage III, you should consider the following treatments: External radiation plus hormone therapy External radiation plus brachytherapy and possible hormone therapy Radical prostatectomy, often combined with removal of your pelvic lymph nodes. Your doctor might recommend radiation after surgery.
system: What should someone do if their prostate cancer comes back?
output: Together, you and your doctor will decide on the best treatment. If the cancer is contained in your prostate, surgery or a second attempt at radiation is suggested. If you've had a radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy is a good option. If you had radiation, radical prostatectomy might be the best approach. Cryosurgery might also be an option. If the cancer has spread to other parts of your body, hormone therapy might be the most effective treatment. External or IV radiation therapy or bisphosphonate drugs can relieve your bone pain.
system: What is the staging of prostate cancer based on?
output: Stage is based on: The size of your tumor How far it has spread The chances of it coming back Matching the right treatment with your stage isn't always cut and dry. Your doctor can then change your treatment.
