Statistically speaking, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019re one of the hundreds of thousands of people diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) and who is prescribed Elmiron to manage the symptoms of this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

This popular prescription blood thinner, also known as pentosan polysulfate sodium, is commonly prescribed to individuals suffering from bladder pain and discomfort connected to interstitial cystitis.<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, it was believed that Elmiron was safe for long-term use and that any side effects of this medication were mild. However, new research suggests that long-term use of Elmiron can lead to retinal damage, potentially leading to vision loss or blindness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This severe, life-altering side effect was not known to patients or disclosed to them before being prescribed Elmiron.<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous lawsuits have been filed since early 2022, with some of these being combined into a class-action multidistrict litigation (MDL) suit. These have been filed by patients whose eyesight has been damaged from prolonged use of Elmiron.<\/span><\/p>\n

As these cases prepare to head to trial, potential plaintiffs who also used Elmiron and are now suffering vision troubles are encouraged to file compensation claims as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
