What Causes Nausea And Indigestion Along With Abdominal Pain?
Question: I have been taking simbrinza eye drops for 8 days. I have pus in my eyes and have nausea and bad indigestion as well as muscle aches and dizziness. I stopped taking it today but my stomach hurts so bad and my muscles are aching badly. I have also had chills
Brief Answer:
More information needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. First of all, the eye drops are unlikely to cause the stomach problems and indigestion and it is not clear why you stopped taking them.
In order for me to give you a more accurate answer I need more detailed information about your medical history and other medications you are taking. Why were you prescribed Simbrinza? Do you suffer from other conditions? Are you being treated for anything else? When did these symptoms start? How long have you been suffering from dizziness? Do you currently have a fever?
Please answer these questions so I may give you an informed answer. In the mean time, make sure you are sitting or lying down when you feel dizzy.
Wishing you all the best.

I was taking simbenzia to relieve eye pressure. The eye doctors told me to quit taking it because of the infection in my eyes. I read the rare side effects of the drug and indigestion is one of them along with some of my other symptoms. Also I am allergic to sulfa. I was wondering if I am having an allergic reaction
Brief Answer:
Please see as follows
Detailed Answer:
Yes, the symptoms you are describing can happen in less than 1% of people using these eye drops, but the incidence is very rare and other causes need to also be excluded. Apart from these, further information about the other possible causes needed to rule out the other possible causes.
If the stomach upset and indigestion continue without any improvement for more than 48 hours after stopping the eye drops, please see your doctor for further clinical examination and investigation.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
