Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

1. What is Etacortilen and what is it used for

Etacortilen contains a substance called dexamethasone. It is a corticosteroid that inhibits inflammatory symptoms.

It is indicated for the treatment of non-infectious eye inflammations, such as conjunctivitis, eyelid inflammation, and/or inflammation of the white part of the eyes.

Tell your doctor if the disease does not improve or worsens after the prescribed duration of treatment.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you use Etacortilen

Do not use Etacortilen:

  • If you are allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have high pressure inside the eye (ocular hypertension).
  • If you have an eye infection such as Herpes simplex, corneal infections caused by viruses in the ulcerative stage, tuberculosis, or fungal eye infections, acute purulent ophthalmia, purulent conjunctivitis, herpetic blepharitis, or hordeolum.
  • If you have conjunctivitis with inflammation and ulcers on the surface of the cornea of the eye (keratitis), even if it is in an early stage.
  • If you have corneal damage (corneal lesions and abrasions)

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use this medicine.

It is necessary to closely monitor the eyes during the use of this medicine, particularly:

  • If treatment is used for two weeks or more, due to the risk of increased eye pressure.
  • If long-term ocular corticosteroids are used (1-4 years), especially at high doses, as they can cause clouding of the lens (see section 4).
  • If you have a viral infection, as the use of corticosteroids can worsen/exacerbate the condition, which can lead to irreversible clouding of the cornea.
  • If you have a disorder associated with thinning of the cornea.
  • In the case of corneal inflammation caused by herpes (herpetic keratitis). The use of corticosteroids can delay the healing of damaged tissue and increase the incidence and spread of infections.
  • In the case of bacterial, viral, or fungal conjunctivitis, as the topical administration of corticosteroids can mask the evidence of infection progression.
  • If you are using other eye drops that contain phosphate (see section 4).

Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.

Consult your doctor if you experience swelling and weight gain around the trunk and face, as these are usually the first manifestations of a syndrome called Cushing's syndrome. Suppression of adrenal gland function can occur after intensive or long-term treatment with this medicine. Consult your doctor before stopping treatment on your own. These risks are especially important in children and patients treated with a medicine called ritonavir or cobicistat.

Tell your doctor if you are taking ritonavir or cobicistat, as this can increase the amount of dexamethasone in the blood and its effects, such as Cushing's syndrome.

Tell your doctor if you are taking atropine or related products, as they can increase eye pressure when used at the same time.

This medicine can be used with other eye medicines, but it is essential to follow the instructions included in section 3.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

Use during pregnancy

The use of this medicine is not recommended during pregnancy unless your doctor considers it necessary and under strict supervision.

Use of this medicine during breastfeeding

The use of this medicine is not recommended during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

As with all eye drops, you may experience blurred vision after applying the drops. Wait until your vision is clear before driving or using machines.

Etacortilen contains phosphates

This medicine contains 0.13 mg of phosphates in each drop, equivalent to 3.66 mg/ml.

If you have severe corneal damage (the transparent layer of the front of the eye), treatment with phosphates, in very rare cases, can cause blurred vision due to calcium accumulation.

3. How to use Etacortilen

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medicine given by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) 3 or 4 times a day or as directed by your doctor.

If you use more Etacortilen than you should

No cases of overdose have been reported with the use of this medicine.

If you accidentally instill more drops than you should, rinse well. Apply the next dose as usual.

If you accidentally ingest the product, your doctor may consider stomach lavage.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.

If you forget to use Etacortilen

Do not apply a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.

If you stop treatment with Etacortilen

Patients with severe pre-existing corneal damage that threatens vision should not stop treatment without consulting their doctor. Always inform your doctor if you think you want to stop treatment.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you use Etacortilen with other eye medicines

If you are using any other eye medicine, wait 5 minutes between using each medicine.

4. Possible side effects

In all the above cases, patients should stop using the eye drops and start appropriate treatment.
