Lawsuits allege that long-term use of Elmiron, the only oral drug approved for interstitial cystitis, causes a distinctive and permanent retinal injury.

What the lawsuits allege

Beginning in 2018, ophthalmologists described a previously unrecognized pattern of retinal damage in long-term Elmiron users. The litigation alleges the manufacturer possessed decades of signals connecting pentosan polysulfate to eye injury yet did not warn patients until 2020, after many had taken the drug daily for years.

Injuries named in the litigation

  • Pigmentary maculopathy
  • Blurred and distorted central vision
  • Difficulty adapting to dim light
  • Progressive vision loss after stopping the drug
