Taking Neotigason, Eyesight Problem, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, No Artery Disease

i was taking neotigison for 7 months and developed problems with my eyesight so stopped taking it and my eyesight is slowly improving. 12 months later i have found out that i have dilated cardiomyopathy with only 29percent function. Could taking neotigison be related to this as there is no artery disease , i dont drink or smoke(never have), there is no sleep disorder . I am 47, 170 cm tall and 120kg.

There does not seem to be any relation between neotigison and dilated cardiomyopathy.
This shows a relationship between Ichthyosiform erythroderma and cardiomyopathy.
As said in the website, eye problems do occur with this drug but fortunately none of them should be permanent.



hope this helps
