What is elmiron?
Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium) is the only FDA-approved oral medication for interstitial cystitis, a chronic condition that causes bladder pressure and pain. However, recent studies and patient reports have linked long-term Elmiron use to significant eye damage, including pigmentary maculopathy, which can lead to vision impairment and even potential blindness.
As a result, individuals affected by these severe side effects have pursued Elmiron lawsuits, seeking compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, and decreased quality of life.
If you or a loved one has experienced vision problems after taking Elmiron, reaching out to an experienced Elmiron lawyer can be essential in protecting your legal rights and exploring your options for recourse.
Along with the above, choosing Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys as your law firm can provide you with the following benefits:

What should I do if I believe my eye condition is linked to Elmiron?
If you suspect your vision issues are connected to your use of Elmiron:
– Document all symptoms and the timeline of your vision changes in relation to when you started taking Elmiron.
– Gather all medical records from your ophthalmologist and any other treating healthcare providers.
– Cease taking Elmiron, but only after consulting with your healthcare provider for advice on safely discontinuing the medication.
– Consult with a personal injury attorney who specializes in pharmaceutical litigation to discuss your case and explore your legal options.
Am I eligible to file a lawsuit if I’ve experienced vision problems from Elmiron?
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if there is evidence linking your vision problems to your use of Elmiron, particularly if you were not adequately warned about the potential risk of eye damage. Eligibility for a lawsuit typically depends on proving the extent of your injuries and demonstrating that Elmiron was directly responsible for your vision problems. An experienced attorney can assess your situation and provide guidance on how to proceed.
What type of compensation can I expect from an Elmiron lawsuit?
Individuals who file lawsuits against the manufacturers of Elmiron can potentially receive compensation for various damages, including medical expenses related to the treatment of eye conditions, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and potentially future medical costs if ongoing treatment is necessary. If you’ve had to stop working due to your vision impairment, you might also be eligible for compensation for lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
