ELMIRON EYE DAMAGE LAWSUIT
Introduced to the market in the 1990s, Elmiron was the first FDA-approved drug to treat interstitial cystitis. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a bladder condition without a cure and is noted to be very painful. Elmiron was marketed to eliminate the symptoms of IC, including painful bladder, the urge to urinate frequently, and pelvic pain.
Elmiron
Elmiron was manufactured by a corporate subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Jansen Pharmaceuticals Inc. In 1996, Elmiron received approval from the FDA and since received growing recommendations for treatment options with those with IC. While many have heard of Elmiron, it is important to note it is the brand name for the drug pentosan polysulfate sodium.
The Effects of Using Elmiron
In 2018 the harmful effects of Elmiron began to be noted by doctors. As an increase in patients with maculopathy and a common factor of the use of Elmiron, the suggested harmful effects of the use of Elmiron were reported. As more testing and reporting began to take place, toxicity of Elmiron and correlation to maculopathy and or severe eye damage became apparent.
