Elmiron Lawsuit
Morgan & Morgan attorneys are reviewing claims on behalf of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) patients who took the prescription drug Elmiron and now may be suffering from a severe eye disease called maculopathy as a result.

Elmiron Eye Disease Lawsuit
Lawsuits on behalf of the injured have already begun. If you or a loved one took Elmiron and has since been diagnosed with maculopathy, you may be eligible for compensation. Call today to have your case reviewed for free.

A New Danger Come To Light
The potential risks associated with Elmiron were unknown until 2015, when doctors at Atlanta’s Emory Eye Center encountered an eye condition they hadn’t seen before in six women. This form of maculopathy didn’t seem to have a cause, but further investigation revealed that all six women had been taking Elmiron for years.
Further studies released in 2018 and 2019 further support the link between Elmiron and this eye condition. It is currently unknown how Elmiron causes this condition.
Common symptoms of the specific form of Maculopathy linked to Elmiron include:
- A change in the color of the retina itself
- Dark spots in visions
- Straight lines turned curved or squiggly
- Muted, less vivid colors
- Trouble reading
- Blurred vision, including in the center of the field of view
- A hard time adjusting to dimmer lighting
Eye disease is still not listed as a possible side effect by the manufacturer, despite the evidence. There's no telling how many people have already suffered a serious eye injury due to their use of Elmiron, and hundreds of thousands of people are still putting themselves at risk.

Is There a Lawsuit Against Elmiron?
The company that manufactures Elmiron, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, failed to disclose the dangerous side effects associated with their product and exposed millions of innocent patients to the risk of a life-altering disease. Scientific studies discovered this as early as 2015, yet after six years, the medication’s label still does not mention the risk of eye disease as a possible side effect. Their actions deliberately kept the public in the dark, which is a violation of the product liability laws that protect you.
Is Elmiron Off the Market?
Unfortunately, Elmiron is still prescribed to patients around the country, despite the dangerous risks associated with the medication. The risk of maculopathy isn’t listed as a possible side effect, which is likely why it’s still utilized today. If you’re currently using this product, you should speak with your doctor about alternative options for your condition.
How Many Elmiron Victims Have Filed Lawsuits?
There are over one hundred lawsuits currently pending against Elmiron, but there are potentially thousands of victims yet to come forward. Although Janssen Pharmaceuticals first prescribed the medication in 1996, the first evidence about the product’s risk came about in 2015, allowing millions of innocent patients to use Elmiron without fully understanding the repercussions. If you’ve used Elmiron within this time and have developed symptoms of maculopathy, Morgan & Morgan can assist you in recovering the damages related to your situation.
Is There a Substitute for Elmiron?
There are alternatives to Elmiron that don’t put the user at risk of maculopathy, such as over-the-counter options like Advil or Motrin. However, if you feel these options aren’t substantial enough, you can speak with a doctor about what option will most benefit your situation.
