Aggressively Litigate to Obtain the Best Result for Victims Who Have Suffered from Eye Injuries Caused by Taking Elmiron in Rochester, New York.

Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium) is a medication commonly prescribed to treat bladder pain and discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis. The medication guards against irritation by coating the bladder. However, the drug has recently been linked to cases of serious vision problems. After studies discovered that an alarming percentage of patients being treated for interstitial cystitis also suffered from macular degeneration, researchers made the connection between Elmiron and eye disease. Macular degeneration is an eye condition that can result in blurry or lost vision in the center of the victim’s visual field.

In 2019, scientists at Kaiser Permanente performed eye examinations on patients who had been prescribed Elmiron for at least 5 years. Out of the 91 patients examined, 24% displayed some degree of eye damage. The extent of eye damage significantly increased with the amount of Elmiron taken. Hundreds of victims who have suffered retinal damage caused by Elmiron have already filed lawsuits to force the manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, to take responsibility for their toxic medication. There are now over 440 class action lawsuits alleging that Janssen failed to adequately warn patients about the eye damage associated with their drug. Suppose that you have experienced vision loss or other complications after taking Elmiron; although no amount of money can bring back your eyesight, you may be able to file a product liability lawsuit.

Common Symptoms Of Elmiron-Associated Maculopathy

Roughly one-fourth of all patients that were prescribed Elmiron suffered some level of vision impairment. While sufferers might not experience any symptoms at first, over time, macular retinopathy leads to a gradual worsening of vision. The disease is known for causing deterioration of the macula, the small central part of the retina. Patients who have taken Elmiron for an extended time have frequently noticed the following signs:

  1. Yellowish, round lesions below the macula;
  2. Retinal pigment epithelium atrophy;
  3. Muted and less vivid colors;
  4. Blurred vision;
  5. Night blindness or having a hard time seeing in low light settings;
  6. Difficulty seeing up close;
  7. Having trouble reading;
  8. Straight lines appearing curvy or bent;
  9. Seeing dark spots in the middle of your field of vision; and
  10. Dimming vision.

Unfortunately, for many patients, vision loss and retinal damage continue to worsen even after they discontinue taking Elmiron.
