Had successful cataract surgery. But, I developed symptoms of laryngitis immediately upon starting these drugs. I've checked all the literature and it is not mentioned anywhere. Anyone else have this problem???
I am on Omnipred and Nevanac. I've developed laryngitis since starting these drugs. Is this usual?

You are probably just a little run down after your surgery and your immune system isn't working as well as it should. Also the medication you are taking can suppress the immune system making you more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections.
If the laryngitis does not go away or gets worse then see your doctor.

Hi,
Am new here & having difficulty posting a question that is similar to yours. So will post a brief answer and then ask my question here as well, in case others may be able to answer. Many thanks for your indulgence!
I too just had cataract surgery (one week ago) and am on Omnipred (see details below). Have also experienced larynx pain, but was thinking it was probably from the Azopt. Now after seeing your question, am wondering if Omnipred (as well as, possibly, Azopt) could be involved. Are you taking any eye drop med for glaucoma? OK, here is the question I have tried to post a dozen times and system doesn't seem to accept it:

I have been taking Omnipred for many weeks following cataract surgery and iritis. For much of this time, I have experienced a sore throat, gastritus, and reflux. The symptoms appear to be linked to the timing of taking the drops.

Has this side effect been documented with Omnipred?
