About Elmiron Vision Loss

Manufactured by a pharmaceutical company called Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Elmiron is a drug that prescribed to people who have a bladder condition, such as bladder pain and interstitial cystitis. Interstitial cystitis is a condition designed to treat bladder pain or bladder pressure, which often results in people who have bladder urgency and have to use the bathroom a great deal.

Studies have shown that Elmiron is toxic to the retina, which is in the eye, and can even cause people to lose their vision. Unfortunately, Elmiron has been prescribed to thousands of people since the mid 1990’s. Studies have also shown that women were the primary demographic who received Elmiron.

THE DANGERS OF ELMIRON

Clinical studies conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology have shown that approximately 25% of patients who have taken Elmiron showed the signs of eye damage. Many patients have felt pain in their stomach, head, and other parts of their body while taking Elmiron. In addition, people have experienced blindness as a result of pigmentary maculopathy. Below are the common symptoms associated with Elmiron:

• Dark pigmentation within the retina
• A permanent loss of vision
• Swelling in the vessel and capillary
• Atrophy within the retina
• Blurred vision
• Problems reading

Despite numerous reports of problems with Elmiron, the FDA has not yet recalled the drug. To date, there are over 130 lawsuits against the manufacturer of Elmiron.
