Elmiron, also known as pentosan polysulfate sodium, is commonly used to treat the symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC), a chronic condition of the bladder also known as bladder pain syndrome. This medication aims to reduce the persistent bladder pain, frequent urination, urgency, and discomfort during sexual intercourse associated with IC. However, recent concerns have emerged regarding Elmiron’s safety. Patients who have taken Elmiron and later developed eye diseases, especially a rare condition called pigmentary maculopathy, are now suing the drug’s manufacturers. These lawsuits claim that Elmiron caused significant vision problems or blindness, and accuse the manufacturers of not sufficiently warning users about this serious potential side effect, seeking compensation for the damages incurred.
