Flonase And Cataracts (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Has anyone that has used Flonase got cataracts? I have them because of it and nasonex. Are there any class actions against the makers of this? I would not have used it if I had known.

I agree, my cataract was caused by flonase. Everytime I took flonase, my eye twitched (just my right eye), 4 months later, I had a cataract in my right eye.

I started using Flonase daily over a year ago because of sinus related earaches. I chose it because it could be used daily without nasal damage. I had the beginning of a cataract in my right eye and after using Flonase I noticed my cataract getting aggressively worse. I am now scheduled for surgery.

At 49, I was diagnosed with my first cataract. At 50, I'm severely limited due to my poor vision. I don't even drive anymore, and really struggle to work. The only steroid I've taken with regularity is flonase.

Doubt it could be the prednisone I had long, long ago for a severe allergic reaction. That was just a short week.

Post subcapsular cataract, grade 3. I have to have surgery on both eyes.

Otherwise, a healthy person. I eat healthy diet, do not take any prescriptions and the only other things I take are vitamin d, evening primrose oil, and otc pain killers like tylenol, bc powder.

I had to take out a loan, so I can get surgery.

Yes, I’ve been treated for macular degeneration for the last 15 years and comes to find out that it’s from this Flonase and it’s really central serious retinopathy. I am about to lose my mind over this.

I have gotten cataracts 0n both eyes and the only drug I have been using is Flonase. I have used it for a few years. I too would like to know if any lawyers are taking this case! I became blind at a pretty fast rate, and I am fairly young and healthy. My opthamologist told me the kind of cataracts I have are from steroids. Trouble is I am now almost blind and my insurance won't cover $5,000.00 of the surgery costs to have them removed. I make just enough money to live, without extra for operations like this. It is hard to find new jobs and extra work when you are blind. A year ago I could see. I wish I knew this was a side effect before I used the drug!!!!!
