WHERE DO NATIONAL ELMIRON CASES STAND TODAY?

Elmiron is a medication used to treat
interstitial cystitis, commonly referred to as
painful bladder syndrome. Elmiron, or pentosan
polysulfate, is the only FDA-approved medication
to treat this condition. However, studies have
shown that this medication can cause irreversible
damage to the eyes caused by a condition called
pigmentary maculopathy. At Colson Hicks Eidson,
their award-winning product liability team has
filed a lawsuit on behalf of a client who used
Elmiron and subsequently sustained eye damage.
Here, they want to discuss what is going on with
these cases across the US.

The team at Colson Hicks Eidson has previously
reported to you that those who have taken Elmiron
have a higher risk of suffering from pigmentary
maculopathy due to a buildup of pentosan
polysulfate in the retinal cells. These findings
have been backed up by researchers at the Emory
Eye Center and the American Academy of
Ophthalmology.
What Is The Problem With Elmiron?
4
Some of the most common symptoms experienced by
those who are suffering from pigmentary
maculopathy caused by Elmiron include

• Difficulty reading
• Difficulty adapting to dim lighting
• Vision disturbances or distorted vision
• Trouble seeing things up close
• Blindness
• Eye pain

5
These vision problems can impact a persons
entire life. This includes their ability to enjoy
everyday activities as well as their ability to
work. Researchers have found that pigmentary
maculopathy can affect Elmiron users of all ages,
and have discovered victims in their twenties.

Right now, anybody who suspects they may have
been harmed by taking Elmiron needs to speak to
an attorney about their case. While there have
been lawsuits filed against the manufacturers of
Elmiron on behalf of plaintiffs throughout the
country, it is not too late to get your case
started. Colson Hicks Eidson is particularly
interested in helping victims who have been
affected by this medication. They know that
victims in these cases had no warning that their
vision could be affected. What makes this
particularly tragic is that Elmiron is the only
medication that is approved to treat interstitial
cystitis, so patients were left with no other
viable options to help ease the painful symptoms
they experience.
