Anyone here have meds they take for glaucoma and also take concerta? I have the eye drop Cosopt I take twice a day. I'm not sure yet if I can mix the two together, I'll know soon what my Opthamologist says.

So do you have this dilemma?

Ask your pharmacist or read the PI sheet for Concerta.

Just been reading: glaucoma is a contraindication for methylphenidate. I suggest you call your doctor(s) ASAP.

I'm on dex and Lumigan. Optometrist said not to worry about it (then as an aside he said: "just yet"). So it might not be bad. Then again, I don't know anything about Concerta, so it might not be a good thing, either.
