I recently was diagnosed with IC 11/04 after getting a second opinion from another urologist. Thank god for my gut feeling.
-- By education | Reply | Private Message meI am now taking Elmiron (400 mg.) a day. once in the am and once after supper.
I must take it with a full stomach and lg. class of water. I experienced HEADACHES, alittle upset stomach. But I am worried about hair loss.
I found that the Elmiron has definitely treated my IC and my symptons almost vanished!! I don't have the pressure, pulling sensation, the urgency (remember???). I do still have a mild cystelole (sp.) but am seeing dr. regarding that.
I see my dr. in March for the first follow up. My prescription is for a year. I guess with diet and this Elmiron I should be better. I worry about medicine for the rest of my life. Any thoughts.
Thanks,
