This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness, through holistic methods. i so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. if you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com okay, so there’s a question out there in the audience and it has to do terazosin and this is for benign prostate hyperplasia,
Bph and it happens in over 80% of men, this prostate condition. especially if you’re over the age of 70 and this particular drug. is used to help control the the prostate hyperplasia. and the answer to that is no, it doesn’t contribute. however, one of the side effects is blurred vision, but the pharmaceutical drug does not cause oxidative stress buildup in the lens, but
There’s a second issue that comes up and i’m bringing it up because it’s not really talked about very much but it’s a very addition, as it relates to this medication so terazosin is a and this alpha blocker is used to treat this prostate condition. however, what it can cause is something called intraoperative floppy, muscle, and it dictates and governs the pupil expanding
And so if you take this type of drug, it can create this iris condition, which will then move you away from being able to get cataract surgery. and there are some things that you can do to maybe reduce the risk of for example, one thing that you could do is take another drug, which is called one percent atropine sulfate and this will keep the pupil and if you do that,

Remember pharmaceutical, drugs are synthetically made and i don’t care what if you’re on pharmaceutical drugs and you’re being influenced by all it is going to take you away from your health and wellness. and one of the side effects is it’s going to affect your eyes and there’s some times that you need to use, pharmaceuticals use a lower dose and really try to find ways
To get off these medications. none of them are going to support your health and wellness in a vital like herbs, aromatherapy essential oils, medicinal, mushrooms. so that you move off the synthetically made pharmaceuticals, which do so in this particular case, sir, i would consider seeing if you could i hope you learned something from the eyeclarity podcast show today.
