Vision Loss After Using Elmiron?

Elmiron Lawsuit

The personal injury lawyers at Fetterman & Associates P.A. are reviewing cases for individuals who took Elmiron and were diagnosed with maculopathy.

Understanding the Elmiron Eye Disease Lawsuit

Elmiron is a drug that has been prescribed to millions of patients since 1996 for interstitial cystitis (IC), otherwise known as painful bladder syndrome. Starting in 2015, researchers discovered a potential link between the drug and a serious eye disease called maculopathy. Although, the evidence has piled up,  Janssen Pharmaceutical, has failed to warn the public about these risks.

Patients are typically prescribed 300 milligram daily doses of the drug. In more serious cases, doctors have been known to prescribe 800 or even 1500 milligrams. Millions of people are taking a drug that may one day rob them of their vision, and an untold number may have already suffered serious health consequences.

A Hidden Danger of the Medication

The risks associated with Elmiron were unknown until  doctors at Atlanta’s Emory Eye Center encountered an eye condition they hadn’t seen before in 6 women. This form of maculopathy didn’t seem to have a cause. Further investigation revealed that all six women had been taking Elmiron.

Studies released in 2018 and 2019 further support the link between Elmiron and maculopathy. It is as yet unknown how Elmiron causes this condition.

Despite mounting evidence, eye disease is still not listed as a possible side effect by the manufacturer. There’s no telling how many people have already suffered a serious eye injury due to their use of Elmiron, and hundreds of thousands of people are at risk.
