Prescription & Over-The-Counter Drug Lawsuits
Elmiron has been widely prescribed for decades to treat interstitial cystitis, a bladder condition that causes chronic pain in the bladder and pelvis area. However, evidence now suggests that prolonged use of Elmiron may be associated with damage to the eyes—specifically to the macula, which is part of the retina.
Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR may be prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ulcerative colitis. People who take Xeljanz may be at increased risk for developing cancer or a pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or experiencing a major cardiac event.
There are heartburn drugs—both over-the-counter and prescription—associated with an increased risk of dangerous, sometimes life-threatening, kidney problems. They include well-known brand names such as Prevacid®, Nexium®, and Prilosec®.
