Legal Suit Against The Makers Of Nasonex (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Lady3kgt Says:
In December I was diagnosed w/ cataracts in both eyes (I'm only 54). Two days ago I heard an ad on TV for Nasonex & it mentioned cataracts were a possible side effect. I used Nasonex for a few months a couple of years ago & I just bet it's the culprit behind my eye problems. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I have severe/sporadic lower back pain and always wondered why. I am now seeing back pain can be a side effect of Flonase/nasonex. Anyone else having back pain?

Unfortunately I have Glaucoma as well as a catarats (that was a surprise to find out last month). Having had laser surgery on both eyes to control the pressure and using xalatan and cosopt to treat the problem I was controlled at about 17-18. My last visit my pressure shot up to 30 and I was told I have a cataract in my right eye. I have used Nasonex and flonase off and on for years for colds and allergies. I have notified my physicians that I have glaucoma yet they continued to prescribe Nasonex (or give me samples) I had a cold this week and used Nasonex as always, however I figured with the pressure issue I should check to see if I should have used it and tell the Dr. that I did when I came across all of these people with this problem.
There is no history of glaucoma in my family and I am 53 a little young for cataracts!!!!!

I used steroid nasal spray for a week. It was for allergies that I didn't even have. Immediately after I got what can only be described as cataract symptoms. Now I can't see well when I am looking out a bright window. Objects in the near are too dark. Lights are duller inside and yellowish. The worst is the cloudy vision.
I'm only 35 and otherwise healthy!!!
Its the little things... there's nothing greater.

I saw a commercial for nazonex. I was shocked when I heard that nazonex caused cateracts! There is no family history , yet a couple of years ago I was diagnosed.

I was just diagnosed with Glaucoma. No family history of the disease. I probably used Nasonex over 4-5 prescriptions of the years, something like that. If it caused me to have Glaucoma then I will be pissed.

I am 40 y.o. and have cataracts in both eyes which I believe are caused by corticosteroids. My doctore prescribed Desonide Ointment for my dry cracked eyelids. I used this on and off for a couple of years. It stopped the dryness and the ctacking, but now I have two supcapsular cataracts. I have researched these drugs extensively and they all say that cataracts are a side effect (as well as glaucoma). Desonide specifically warns that it should not be used around the eyes, yet I trusted my doctor and used it as prescribed. This is a crime that these drug companies and doctors are causing so many health problems. I have used Flonase and Nasonex as well, but only samples from my doctor. I have contacted several attorneys and they say that they cannot help me but they encourage me to contact other attorneys for a second opinion. This is BS. I really hope the cataracts are the worst part and that Glaucoma is not around the corner...

This blog is a waste of time. I spoke with several attorneys they all told me go get my own as statutes and what I should have known and when I should have known it would preclude any class action for me. I am in NY apparently that is a big problem. They want to cherry pick the best cases. Well in the last 3 months I have developed, Thyroid cancer and lung cancer as well so going blind is the least of my problems LOL.

Yes! Just found I had a fast growing cataract in both eyes. Surgery was done on the left. I am 63 and have used nasonex prescription for asthma as long as I can remember; why don't Drs change these prescriptions when this is possible? Just noticed this mention on ad

I also have been diagnosed with glaucoma and it does not run in my family. I used Dr. prescribed Nasonex a few years back and was never warned of the side effects; back then my Dr. may not have known about them either. I'm only 52. The eye drops are very expensive and I have recently lost my job. What can I do?

Yes, I was in my late 40's when diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. All of the Eye people I went to asked me if I had taken steroids. I told them about Nasonex and all of them doubted that was the culprit. At the time there were no cataract warnings listed in the U.S., so I looked at web postings in the U.K., and sure enough they warned of cataracts development with the use of this drug. I have had a total of 9 eye surgeries beginning with the removal of the rapid growing cataracts in both eyes. What a nightmare I have endured, and it's not over. I have spent thousand of dollars even with insurance coverage. I suspected Nasonex from the very beginning. Enough suspicion to launch my own research outside of this country, and I was right. Now, proving fault is a whole different ballgame. Any council on this?
