Several studies over the last few years have
found that those who take Elmiron over longer
periods of time have a higher risk of developing
pigmentary maculopathy, a degenerative eye
disease. If you are taking Elmiron, should you be
able to count on your doctor to alert you to any
problems that could occur with your eye health.
Is it your responsibility to alert your doctor to
the risks of taking Elmiron?

Do Doctors Always Know About Defective
Medications?
The reality is that doctors may not always know
about the potential harmful side effects of the
medications that they prescribe. This may be
especially true if there having been recent
discoveries that have not been widely publicized.
In theory, They would like their doctors to be
continuously up-to-date on which medications are
facing recalls, but the reality is that this may
not be the case.
However, news about the harmful effects of
Elmiron has not become mainstream, as of this
writing. While they may see Zantac on the nightly
news, you probably have not heard about Elmiron
on your TV. This does not make Elmiron any less
dangerous for consumers. In fact, until the
public is sufficiently aware of the damages of
Elmiron, it is also likely that the doctors are
not aware.

problems or not, you need to
