Age related Macular degenaration
I am 80 year old male. Dry ARMD is diagnosed for which I am advised new I Site capsules once a day. Here I got some difference of opinion about the period I have to take. Some Doctors say I have to continue it lifetime with no pause whereas some doctors say I should take it for a month then stop then again after a gap pf one month again take and soon. I am confused pls advise
whether i should take new I Siteonce everyday without break.or i should keep giving breaks after one month or so.
Hello
I site capsule contains micronutrients which retards the progression of ARMD..
It is recommended for long term use...life long use
There are few recent reports which state that long term use of micronutrients may damage liver..there is no conclusive evidence but few reports...that's why some doctors hesitate to prescribe it for long term use and give breaks
I hope this will help you
