Can Dilaudid Cause Keratoconjunctivitis?
Question: Can Dilaudid cause Kerato Conjunctivis in the eye because of dehydrating the body, in high doses?
Brief Answer:
this is not a known side effect
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diaudid (hydromorphone) causes anti cholingeric side effects, this means that they can block a particular chemical that works in different parts of the nervous system and organs.
One of the anti cholingeric effects that may rarely occur is DRY eye which can cause discomfort and irritation but is not known to cause kerato conjunctivitis however.
This is not a reported side effect.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
