AbstractSome eyedrops, gels or ointments may cause adverse effects as serious as those observed with systemic therapies. Because of their relatively poor penetration into eye tissue, ophthalmic drugs usually contain high concentrations of their active ingredient. Asking patients about these drugs to prevent interactions is useful when prescribing a new systemic treatment. Conversely, it is advisable to ask about ophthalmic drugs during the etiological investigation of possible iatrogenic effects.
