Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder condition that can cause a range of symptoms, including:
bladder pressure
bladder pain
pelvic pain
perineum pain
Over one million people in the United States suffer from interstitial cystitis. There is no cure for it, and Elmiron is the only prescription drug that has been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to treat interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome.
