🧬 What Cystopen Is Used For

Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium is used to alleviate bladder pain/discomfort and urinary frequency associated with interstitial cystitis (IC)</strong).
PPS is believed to help restore and protect the bladder’s glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer, reducing urothelial irritation and improving symptoms over time.

⚗️ Mechanism of Action

PPS is a semi-synthetic polysaccharide that exhibits mucosal protective properties.
By forming a protective coating on the bladder epithelium and modulating inflammatory mediators, it may decrease urothelial permeability and nociceptive signaling, thereby easing IC symptoms.

💊 Dosage & Administration

Indication	Typical Adult Dose	Schedule	Notes
Interstitial Cystitis (IC)	100 mg	Three times daily	Take on an empty stomach (1 hr before or 2 hrs after meals)

⚠️ Safety & Warnings

Ocular safety: Long-term PPS use has been associated with pigmentary maculopathy in rare cases; report visual changes (difficulty reading, dark adaptation issues) and consider periodic ophthalmologic exams.
Common effects: GI upset (nausea, diarrhea), headache; usually mild and transient.
Bleeding risk: PPS has weak anticoagulant activity — use caution with anticoagulants/antiplatelets and bleeding disorders.
Use only under medical supervision; dosage and duration depend on response and tolerability.
