Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

The medicine is basically pseudoephedrine. Many uthorities do not allow the medicine now. But since your doctor has prescribed it, I would say that there may be some issues in narrow angle glaucoma. It should ideally be avoided in narrow angle glaucoma.

Since it is allergic rhinitis thats bothering you, try a montelukast prescription with steam inhalation and saline gargles

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
