What is Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium?
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium is used to treat pain or discomfort from a certain bladder disorder called interstitial cystitis. It may work by forming a layer on the bladder wall and protecting it from harmful/irritating substances in the urine. It is also a weak "blood thinner" and therefore may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding (e.g., bleeding from the nose or gums).
Before taking Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium, tell your doctor if you have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder, a history of aneurysm or stroke, a stomach ulcer, intestinal polyps, diverticulitis, or liver disease. Your healthcare provider should also be informed if you use any other medications that can increase your risk of bleeding, including blood thinners, medications to treat or prevent blood clots, or an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), indomethacin (Indocin), and others.
