I was googling Epimax and came across something about Epimax related ocular surface toxicity.. maybe I should have a word with the radiotherapy team when I go in for my Peg or chemo meeting.. has anyone used Epimax for radiation?

Epimax has quite a few side effects in addition to your obscure observation. Always run everything past your team.

I'll mention to my CNS that I'm not happy with the Epimax, and see what else is recommended.. although I've noticed R1/R2 is back from Radiaderm, and looking at previous threads it used to be quite popular.. I shall email them and get a list of ingredients.. I don't think it will be on prescription, but it maybe worth the investment..
