Legal Suit Against The Makers Of Nasonex (Page 7)

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?

REPORT

I am a 22 year old male, in good health. I'd been taking Nasonex for about 8 years seasonally, and developed a subcapsular posterior cataract in my left eye in march of 2016. Fast forward to october and I have cataract surgery - now I've got an Alcon IOL. Every ophthalmologist who saw me said the same thing - Nasonex had to be the cause.

The fact the cataract was subcapsular is indicative of the fact it was steroidal in nature, because steroidal cataracts do not cloud the entire lens like a cataract from old age would.

I have NEVER taken any other steroidal medications or substances, nor have I experienced any eye injury. My insurance covered the procedure, but it still stunk to have to go through that.

Anyone reading this - if you take Nasonex, be warned you may develop a cataract.

I've switched to Nasalcrom and am avoiding steroidal medication religiously to prevent forming a cataract in my other eye, once was hellish enough.

That surgery will stick with me until I'm too old to remember what happened. Thanks, Nasonex!

I used Nasonex for years. I think it was the cause of trigeminal neuralgia.

I just found out the same thing today! "Self-induced" what the doctor called from using a steriod (Nasanex). Same age 54, no family history!

I was 52 yrs old and diagnosed with cataracts. I have began using Nasonex & Flonase since the late 90's, when they first entered the market. Eye doctor said it was from steroids - I didn't realize the nose spray had steroids that caused cataracts. Is there any class action litigation?
