Elmiron® is a drug for the treatment of a bladder condition and has been prescribed for many decades. Recent research indicates Elmiron is toxic to the retina, the light sensing tissue at the back of the eye that allows us to see.
“A new study shows about a quarter of patients with significant exposure to the bladder drug, Elmiron®, show signs of retinal damage.” ScienceDaily, 12 October 2019.
Interstitial cystitis causes chronic pain in the bladder and pelvis area. More than a million people in the United States, mostly women, are estimated to have the condition.
Elmiron® is the only FDA-approved pill to treat it. As a mainstay of treatment for decades, hundreds of thousands of people have likely been exposed to the drug.
If You Have Been Taking Elmiron®:
Don’t Wait to Get a Checkup
In the late-stage, toxicity can mimic late-stage dry atrophic age-related macular degeneration and result in permanent vision loss.
Early Identification of Eye Damage is Key
Diagnosis of vision problems such as pigmentary maculopathy caused by Elmiron may require imaging studies or consultation with a retina specialist to diagnose.
Eye Screenings
Get regular eye screenings if you are taking Elmiron. For those who do not show signs of retina damage, speak with your urologist or OB/GYN about whether discontinuing the medication is appropriate.
