I recently had botox injections in my brows as its my best

Customer Question

Hello, I recently had botox injections in my brows as its my best friends wedding in 2 weeks. I've had the same treatment many times but this time, it has caused me to have one eyelid that is drooping quite badly! I am devastated. I have done some research and apparently IOPIDINE eye drops (Apraclonidine 5 mg as hydrochloride) can fix this as a temporary solution. Is this something I can be prescribed? I have lived overseas for 8 years so I no longer have a local NHS doctor. Please help :-)
JA: How long have you been using eye drops? Has it helped at all?
Customer: I havent used them, I am wanting a prescription
JA: Got it. Have you used anything besides eye drops for this?
Customer: I have not used eye drops
JA: Thank you so much for your time. Finally, is there anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
Customer: No

Please see attached. I can send you a pic of what they normally look like, which is even!

do you need a pic of them normally?
Expert:  Khizra Naz replied 11 days ago.

Unfortunately we will not be able to issue medications here. Drooping of eyelids can be long lasting complication, I would advise you to get it checked at optician as soon as possible.

That would help you a lot in this case.

If it's not something you are willing to prescribe, I understand. I do believe that it has been used to treat this though based on my research. All good, have a lovely day.
Expert:  Khizra Naz replied 11 days ago.

This would only be prescribed by opthamologist privately after seeing you and assessment. Unfortunately we cannot do this.
