Side Effects of Actonel, Fosamax Linked to Eye Problems: Study April 3, 2012 Staff Writers Add Your Comments People using Fosamax, Actonel and similar osteoporosis drugs for the first time could be at an increased risk of inflammatory eye diseases that may result in permanent vision loss, according to the findings of new research. In a study published online Monday by the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), researchers from the Child and Family Research Institute and the University of British Columbia examined the risk of inflammatory eye problems from side effects of Fosamax, Actonel and the entire family of drugs known as bisphosphonates . Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study involving British Columbia residents from 2000 to 2007, and found that use of the popular osteoporosis drugs may significantly increase the risk of the rare eye disease uveitis and scleritis during the first 30 to 90 days of use.

Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Fosamax (alendronate sodium) and Actonel (risedronate) are among the most commonly used bisphosphonate medications in the United States. The oral medications are often prescribed to strengthen the bones and reduce the risk of fractures associated with osteoporosis. The study compared nearly 11,000 first-time users of oral bisphophonates to nearly 1 million non-users. Researchers found that if 10,000 people were followed for one year, then 63 of them that took Fosamax or a similar drug would develop scleritis, compared to only 36 people among 10,000 who did not take the drug. Similarly, there would be 29 incidents of uveitis for every 10,000 person years among those who took one of the osteoporosis drugs, compared to only 20 among those who did not. Uveitis occurs when the middle layer of the eye, known as the uvea, begins to swell and become irritated. Symptoms include blurred vision, seeing dark spots, eye pain, redness of the eye and sensitivity to light. The uvea delivers blood to the retina. It can last for weeks and is usually mild, but can result in permanent vision loss. Scleritis is an inflammation of the white outer wall of the eye. Symptoms can include blurred vision, severe eye pain, red patches in the whites of the eye, painful sensitivity to light and tearing of the eye. It is easily treated with corticosteroids but if left untreated it can cause perforation of the eyeball, leading to permanent vision loss. In recent years, a number of side effects have been associated with Fosamax and other bisphosphonates, such as an increased risk of low-trauma femur fractures and a rare jaw bone condition, known as osteonecrosis of the jaw. Merck & Co., the manufacturer of Fosamax, currently faces hundreds of product liability lawsuits alleging that they failed to adequately warn risk of these side effects.

In Dec of 2021 I was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of my left jaw by an oral surgeon who states this was medication induced. Helen July 15, 2020 I started taking fosamax in late February. By mid March, I started experiencing some eye issues. The first was sticky oozing stuff upon waking up, swelling of bottom eyelid with pain. Then cysts started popping up. I didn’t at first connect this to the fosamax . started doing some research. Found out its possibly blepharitis and chalazion(sp?). I have terrible blurry vision, as well as double vision. I just had an eye exam January 24th & got new glasses. Doctor found no problem with my eyes. Last dose of this medicine was July 4th. When I called my drs office to tell them, they couldn’t have cared less. Asked no questions. Just said Dr would prescribe something else. I firmly told them I would not be taking any more of this type of medication. Response was, OK, I’ll let the Dr know. Hmm.
