Xylometazoline causes glaucoma?
Hi, I have been using Xylomist for over two years now. I recently read that a similar decongestant Otrivin can cause Glaucoma and Xylomist drug can do the same. Please suggest if it should be stopped completely? I am a glaucoma suspect with family history or any injury. Also, I need to stop it completely but i cant because my nose interior gets stuffy without mucous.
