How will Uracyst help?

People with PBS/IC can find life very difficult. The disease can make it hard to carry out everyday activities. In particular it may cause problems at work, and getting involved in even the most simple of family activities. It can even put a strain on loving, intimate relationships.

Uracyst helps to get back the things that people take for granted by relieving the symptoms of PBS/IC.

Uracyst is a fluid that is instilled into the bladder. It contains Sterile Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate Solution, 2.0%, and is effective in reducing the symptoms of painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC).

The main symptoms of PBS/IC are:

• painful bladder
• increased frequency of urination
• increased urge to urinate

Uracyst does not provide instant relief of symptoms, but it has been shown to work quickly. In a Canadian study, almost half of the patients responded to treatment with Uracyst by the 6th weekly treatment. In another study most of the patients felt an improvement by the 2nd week of treatment.
