I have injections for macular degeneration. I am usually asked if I am on antibiotics but have never been told why or what the consequences might be. At my most recent visit, I asked and was told that if I had a current infection being treated with antibiotics then I would not receive the injections. Since I have to travel over an hour to get here, and the waiting lists for injections are very long, this would obviously be a severe and unexpected setback. Please make sure this problem is clearly flagged up in the appointment letters so that people can cancel and rebook before travelling if necessary.
