Description

PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM is a low-molecular-weight heparin-like compound used to provide relief from bladder pain and discomfort associated with intestinal cystitis. Intestinal cystitis is a disease that causes scarring and swelling of the bladder wall. It is a painful bladder syndrome with bladder pressure, bladder pain, and pelvic pain.

 

PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM contains Pentosan polysulphate sodium, which works by preventing irritation of the bladder walls by binding to the mucosal membrane of the bladder. This helps in preventing the irritating chemicals present in the urine to come in contact with the bladder wall. Thereby, PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM provides relief from the discomfort associated with intestinal cystitis.

 

You are advised to take PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach upset, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, and heartburn. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

 

Consult your doctor before taking PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with PENTOSAN POLYSULPHATE SODIUM as it could lead to increased dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
