drug causing blindness

[hiawatha]

Someone posted on here eons ago that their mother took some drug that caused blindness. Does anyone remember what it was? Do any of the drugs for osteoporosis cause blindness? TIA

Interesting. Glad you found it, Hi.

I think I posted that hiawatha... had an 70 year old patient who started on enbrel and began going blind. The doc's said there was 'nothing they could do' ... but never had told her it was a possible side effect. Sad.

Best to your loved one.
