Check the information sheet that came with your medicine to see if these are side effects.

Hi, try to see a dermatologist, they would probably suggest an emollient ( E 45 or Diprobase) but there are also moisturizing creams off the shelf at any chemist. There are also products for dry eyes. It could be a reaction to the drugs you have taken or it could be a dietary thing, try the dermatologist or even the Pharmacist.
