Elmiron – Eye Injury and Vision Loss

Drug prescribed to treat painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis) may damage the retina causing vision loss.

The FDA recently approved a label change for Elmiron warning that the drug may cause pigmentary changes in the retina.

This includes pigmentary maculopathy, a disorder that affects the light sensitive portion of the eye resulting in loss of vision. Multiple medical studies have linked Elmiron to eye damage.

Do I Have a Case?

Criteria:

  • Prescribed Elmiron for painful bladder syndrome.
  • Vision loss after taking Elmiron for more than 1 year.
  • **Diagnosed with pigmentary maculopathy, macular degeneration or other retina damage.

**You may not know the exact medical diagnosis for your vision loss but we will investigate and find out.

Not Sure? You may not be sure of your medical diagnosis but know you suffered vision loss and that tests were done by your ophthalmologist.

This should not discourage you from contacting our office. We can request and review medical records to determine your medical diagnosis and whether Elmiron may be the cause.

Medical studies detail link between Elmiron and vision damage.

Elmiron has been on the market since 1996 but only recently has multiple medical journals reported case studies linking Elmiron to macular eye damage. These studies, beginning in 2018 and continuing to the present, can be found in reputable medical journals including The British Journal of Ophthalmology, JAMA Ophthalmology, The American Journal of Ophthalmology and others.

In 2020, a report for the American Academy of Ophthalmology stated the following: “We believe that our findings add strong support to the growing body of evidence that links long-term (Elmiron) use to the potential development of a toxic maculopathy.”
