There is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows Elmiron users are experiencing issues with their vision and this has now been directly linked to taking the drug.
Elmiron is prescribed to prevent the pain associated with IC (interstitial cystitis) a condition that affects millions of Americans each year. It contains PPS (pentosan polysulfate sodium).
Studies now show that long term use of PPS (pentosan polysulfate sodium) can potentially cause toxic maculopathy which can lead to permanent eye damage.
The specific type of maculopathy linked to Elmiron is pigmentary maculopathy. Studies have found that this type of maculopathy seems to be unique to Elmiron users.
We believe the manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, should be held accountable.
If you’ve had issues with your vision after long term use of Elmiron then read on.
If you’ve been taking or have taken Elmiron for more than a year and experienced any of the following symptoms or conditions, you may be eligible to make a claim.
If any of the above have been confirmed by an optometrist or medical professional, then that will add weight to your claim.
Exceptions
It’s important that any loss of vision that you experienced started no earlier than 3 months after you started using Elmiron and that you’ve also never taken Chloroquine.
If you believe you’ve been affected then you may be able to claim significant damages against the manufacturer, Janssen.

Elmiron is still being marketed as a treatment with only minor side-effects. As studies are now showing, this isn’t the case, and many people are suffering from irreversible damage to their vision.
We believe the manufacturer needs to be held accountable for this wrong doing and we believe they should compensate people like you who are suffering due to this negligence.
