Glaucoma!!!!

Tanya R

Hi Ladies,

I was diagnosed with glaucoma last year which did not bother me that much because I was able to control it pretty well with the eye drops.

Now that I’m 6 weeks pregnant, I’m not that comfortable with this medication for obvious reasons. The drops that I’m currently taking is category B medication, Brimonidine, which should be relatively safe. However, there is always this ‘what if’ on the back of my mind.

So my question is what your experiences have been with glaucoma, medications and breastfeeding. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I would contact Infant Risk. They are the experts on meds during pregnancy and breastfeeding.  https://www.infantrisk.com
