Pupil dilation

[Adamski]

I've noticed that if you take painkillers your pupils go very small and they don't dilate for night viewing. This means that what i have been looking at could have been a lot better but i suffer with sciatica so i'm stuffed at the moment. Just thought I'd share this one in case any one else has been prescribed medicine.

Cheers.

Sorry to hear that.

Pupil constriction is a well known side effect of taking opioid painkillers, such as codeine, dihydrocodeine and morphine.

I've not heard of this as a problem with milder painkillers such as paracetamol and the non-steroidals such as brufen, ibuprofen (neurofen) and aspirin.

Great isn't it, when you are old enough to afford a scope you are too worn out to get the full use :/
