... Bladder distention & have now started rimso-50 instillations. I am to have this every 2 weeks but was under the impression that weekly would be a more agressive approach to the Hunners ulcers that I also have. What are the side effects & would it be reasonable to have the treatments weekly? Thank you, Cater
I have Interstitial cystitis. I have tried Elmiron, Clorpactin instillations. Urocyst installations?

Rimso-50 (dimethyl sulfoxide) is used to treat pain and swelling associated with bladder or urinary conditions including cystitis (bladder inflammation or irritation).
This medication will not treat a bacterial or fungal infection of the bladder.
The known side effects of Rimso 50 are in the link below.

It is recommended that the treatment be repeated every 2 weeks ... I don't know the implications/or benefits of using Rimso 50 every week. Please discus with your doctor if you wish.
