Have You Been
a Victim of Elmiron?

  • Did you take Elmiron regularly?
  • Did you suffer vision loss during or after taking Elmiron?
  • Did you become blind during or after taking Elmiron?
  • Did you experience other problems with your vision while taking Elmiron?
  • Did anyone notify you that blindness was a possible side effect of taking Elmiron?

Researchers Find A Connection Between Taking Elmiron and Maculopathy

A research team at Emory Medical School found a link between using Elmiron and developing maculopathy. Maculopathy is a retinal disorder that can lead to blindness.

Maculopathy, unfortunately, often goes undetected until the victim’s vision is severely damaged. Over time, indications of maculopathy can include difficulty reading, trouble seeing in low-lit areas, and spots. Eventually, blindness can occur as the damage to your retina worsens.

There is no warning to patients or doctors that Elmiron can cause maculopathy. While patients are taking Elmiron to ease bladder issues, they have no idea that the defective drug can be causing them to become blind. The drug manufacturer should be held responsible for failing to share the risks of taking Elmiron with the public.

It is doing something which a reasonably prudent person would not do or failing to do that which a reasonably prudent person would do.

In defective drug cases like those involving Elmiron, negligence of the manufacturer might include failing to warn patients that the drug can cause blindness, or producing a drug the company should have known was dangerous.

Yes. If you wish to change lawyers, you are permitted to do so. Your case does not belong to your lawyer.

Just like you can choose any lawyer you wish, you have the choice to change lawyers if you wish.

Most importantly, it will not affect the attorney’s fees that you are charged.
