A member asked:
I am being treated for scleritis w/20mg steroids and 20mg imuran (azathioprine). the dr put me on fosamax.should i take bc have scleritis.

Maybe not: Fosamax (alendronate) is occasionally associated with scleritis, but your scleritis originated before taking the drug. That having been said, talk to your doctor as the addition of this medicine might confound your ongoing treatment for scleritis.
