Interstitial Cystitis
"I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis in February 2000. Since that time, I&#039;ve been taking the prescribed dosage of 400 mg daily. This has helped my interstitial cystitis symptoms tremendously. I had suffered for a long time before being diagnosed properly, so when this medication was presented to me and I took it for a couple of months, my pain was gone. I was so excited to finally get relief. Unfortunately, I had a recent blood test to check my liver enzymes. The AST was 61 and the ALT was 100, both of which are normal between 3 and 35. My physician wants me to decrease my dosage of Elmiron and check me again in 6 weeks. I&#039;m very concerned about the high levels of enzymes in my blood. Be careful and keep a check on your liver."
