What is Elmiron?

Elmiron is a medication prescribed for a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis. It helps manage the discomfort and pain caused by the condition, and the persistent need to urinate.

Normally, when your bladder fills with urine, you get a feeling of pressure and a need to empty it. With interstitial cystitis, you can get this feeling before your bladder is full. This happens even if you only have a little urine in it. Interstitial cystitis can cause bladder pressure, a persistent need to urinate, and mild discomfort. Occasionally it can also cause severe pain. While it is a chronic condition that affects both men and women, women are five times more likely to develop it. There isn’t a known cure that can get rid of interstitial cystitis, but the right medication can help you manage the symptoms.

Elmiron active ingredient

The active ingredient in Elmiron is called pentosan polysulfate sodium. After you take Elmiron, the active ingredient passes into your urine. Once inside your bladder, it forms a protective layer on the inner bladder wall. This shields it from substances that can irritate it and cause pain and discomfort.

Elmiron side effects & drug interactions

Like all medications, Elmiron can have side effects. The most common Elmiron side effects (which affect around 1 in 10 people) are relatively mild. These include headaches, back pain, dizziness, nausea, indigestion, and diarrhea. You will find a full list of Elmiron side effects in the leaflet which comes with the medication. 

In rare instances, Elmiron can have side effects which affect your vision. Talk to your physician straight away if you have any changes to your vision. This includes difficulty reading or slower adjustment to low light levels. If you have any concerns about Elmiron’s side effects, talk to your physician or a pharmacist. Tell them about all the medication you’re taking. This includes any supplements and especially any medicines which reduce or prevent blood clotting.
