Hi Joan, There isn't alot of information about Librax available in the acid reflux site on Health Central. Librax, is a combinations drug, Chlordiazepoxide/Methscopolamine, usually prescribed for irritable bowel syndrome or sometimes prescribed for anxiety. Chlordiazepoxide is a generic for Librium, a potent anti-anxiety medication.  I do not see a direct link between Librex and Glaucoma, except that I did see a drug interaction warning on the drugs.com website. Here is the excerpt from that: "Do NOT use Librax if: * you are allergic to any ingredient in Librax * you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems, severe liver disease, or severe mental problems (psychosis) * you have severe heart blood vessel disease, severe high blood pressure, severe bleeding, severe irritation of the esophagus or other serious problems with the esophagus (eg, esophageal achalasia), a blockage of your stomach or bowel, bowel motility problems, severe bowel inflammation (eg, ulcerative colitis), a blockage of your bladder, certain muscle problems (eg, myasthenia gravis), or uncontrolled bleeding * you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you."   If you have Glaucoma and are considering a regimine of Librax, make sure your prescribing doctor is aware and is monitoring you closely. Remember, online sites are great resources for information to be able to ask all the right questions when it's time to see your doctor, but they can not take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice.   I hope this helps somewhat. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!Vicki M
