Legal Suit Against The Makers Of Nasonex (Page 2)

Updated

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?

Funny how we have the same story over and over again. I would have never taken Nasonex had I been warned there was a risk of blindness. The packets now still dont mention risk of blindness, just say risk Glaucoma: Eye Swelling. Diagnosed with Perenial Rhinitis (year round sneezing) about 35, perscribed Nasonex, by 38 I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and partially blind in one eye.

My son is 8 and his ENT prescribed him Nasonex for his allergies. He took it for a week at bed time. After reading this, risk do not out weigh the benefits. I stopped immediately.

I used Nasonex for nassal congestionm. I later developed high eye pressure and glaucoma in one eye. Laser treatment failed. Glacoma operation healing along with cateract removal. I am 85 so the cateract is not surprizing.
A class action lawsuit is appropriate, I feel.

Reading these replies, I have gotten very scared!A few months ago I was diagnosed with cataracts. This was a surprise because I am fairly young, healthy, and active. My opthamologist told me they were from steroid use. I couldn't imagine how I got them because the only drug I had been using was Flonase! I didn't realize that counted as a steroid!!!! I am almost blind now. Problem is my insurance doesn't cover $5,000.00 of the cataract surgery. I only make enough to live on and I haven't been able to take on extra work or get a new job because I am blind!!!!! I would have NEVER used Flonase if I knew it would effect my vision. What can you do without your vision? People are so nonchalant about cataract surgery - Its your EYES. What if you have to stay this way because you can't afford the operation, or if something goes wrong with the surgery. Don't tell me you will have the same eyesight after surgery without any irritations. Before this I didn't even need glasses. I am all by myself. Who will take care of me. Someone should do something about this!!!! If I hadn't heard the TV commercial with the Nasonex warning I would have never known !

I took nasonex for awhile, it stopped working for my allergies, so I took flonaise. Stoped that when I lost my sense of smell, and sense of taste is comprimised. No mention of that in side effect info. Is there a class action suit on these guys? I would like to join if there is.

Here are three DC attorneys who specialize in medical class action suits. Someone else please take on the cause from here! We are all damaged, and doctors continue to prescribe these sprays for mere colds and allergies.

My wife is 60 years old and other than wearing glasses (for about 50 years) never had a problem with her eyes. She was recently diagnosed with cataracts. Over the past year she used Nasonex. We don't know how to prove that Nasonex caused the cataracts but we have no other explanation.

This is infuriating! Nasonex has destroyed my life! The whole left side of my face is numb and headaches, which I NEVER have. They WILL pay! Sue them yourselves for as much money as possible. We are guinea pigs!!

I used Nasonex for a few years in my 40's for chronic sinusitis. First cataract surgury was at age 49 and the second at 50.

You are right, we're all just guinea pigs!

I'm 44 now and back between the years of 2002-2005 I was prescribed Nasonex for allergies. The only eye problem I ever had was that I was near sighted. Now here in 2012. I have to have bi-focals & 2 out of the 3 markers for glaucoma and damage to my optic nerve in my left eye. I've been told by my eye doctor that when I go out in sunlight I have to wear sunglasess now. I never ever had to do that before. I had no clue at all that Nasonex could cause glaucoma & other eye problems. There is no family history of glaucoma or cataracts and other eye problems in my family. When I heard what it could cause on the television ad a few days ago , I was shocked. I can't believe that I could lose my eyesight because of this drug.

What if you used Nasonex AND Flonase? Doesn't that defeat your case against either one?

You can submit your adverse event to the FDA medwatch program or have your medical provider submit the adverse event online.
Was dx with cataracts bilaterally age 46 which progressed to require surgery after using Nasonex for 3 year.
Have had one surgery will have the other next month.

Well, I am another one. I heard the TV warnings just hours after returning from my eye doctor, who said the cataract I had slightly develped last year had spread remarkably fast and now requires surgery. I've been using Nasonex sporadically for two - three years.
Go figure.
Even if we can't find an attorney ready to mount a challenge, at least warn your families and friends.

The reason most of you have been diagnosed with cataracts is because almost everybody over 45-50 has some degree of cataracts. Cataracts are a typical aging change. Wearing sunglasses is not a requirement after you have cataracts. It's just a really smart thing to do. Intact, it will help to slow the progression and if you had worn them before you would have developed cataracts later in life since they are the result of sun exposure. And the reason you now have to wear bifocals has nothing to do with nasonex but everything to do with your age. We lose our ability to focus up close and 40 is the magic number. Know your facts! And michelle, I think you meant to say the risk DO outweigh the benefits If they didn't, you would have no reason to take him off it.

I think Sarah, that It's not just Nazonex any more that can cause these problems with eyes. Just read some of the warnings that are now put on inserts. Many people don't even read these warnings...not a good idea ! You May want to read about meds that you May have to take in the future or matter of factly taking now. Have you heard at all about how many people are killed by meds in hospitals each year given by doctors ? Wake up Sarah !

I too was diagnosed with cataracts after using Nasonex. In my case, I had them in both eyes. I had surgery on one, but after I stopped using Nasonex, the other eye actuall got better. This all happened before Nasonex started warning about cataracts in their commercials. If anyone out there has experienced the same thing, I would gladly join you in any fight you would want to engage in. To Sarah's point, I was 29 years old at the time, so tell me again how its just age that is causing these problems.

38 year old male diagnosed with cataracts at age 35. Been using nasonex year round for past 10 years or so.
Had one cataract removed. The other eye I am waiting as long as possible. Very hard to get off nasonex after so long. Any suggestions? Got lots of eye floaters too which sucks!
