OCTOBER 1st, 2022 UPDATE: OUR INJURY ATTORNEYS ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS PATIENTS WHO TOOK THE PRESCRIPTION DRUG ELMIRON AND ARE SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE EYE DISEASE CALLED MACULOPATHY.
The Elmiron lawsuits are legal claims for money damages brought by consumers who took the prescription drug Elmiron to treat a chronic bladder condition called interstitial cystitis. These lawsuits allege that long-term Elmiron use causes pigmentary maculopathy which is an eye disorder affecting the macula, the central part of the retina, and a major cause of permanent vision loss, distorted vision and blindness.
Recently, dozens of individuals from across the United States have taken legal action and filed Elmiron Lawsuits with the help of experienced attorneys alleging that their use of Elmiron has caused retinal injuries and vision damage, notably atypical or pigmentary maculopathy. The medication insert produced by Elmiron’s drug maker did not include any warning regarding the risk factors or dangerous side effects and vision issues or eye disease until a warning was added about pigmentary maculopathy in June of 2020. These lawsuits (often referred to as mass torts) seek compensation for Elmiron victims from the drug manufacturers and have been consolidated, through a legal process known as multidistrict litigation, into the Elmiron MDL. The Elmiron MDL is in the discovery phase of the case and is being handled in the United States District Court District of New Jersey before Judge Brian Martinotti and Judge Edward Kiel. Soon, some these Elmiron MDL cases will be selected to proceed as a bellwether trial and the outcome of these trials will have a large impact on the remaining Elmiron MDL cases.

First reported in the American Academy of Opthalmology, new medical studies have provided evidence linking the common bladder medication Elmiron to a vision-threatening eye condition. The most recent clinical trials conducted by three ophthalmologists involved a review of patients at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California. The study revealed that one-quarter of patients with significant exposure to Elmiron suffered an adverse event with definite signs of retinal disease and eye damage, and that the medication toxicity could masquerade as other known retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration or pattern dystrophy.
