About Interstitial Cystitis Agents.

Interstitial cystitis agents comprise a therapeutic category of pharmaceuticals indicated for the management of interstitial cystitis, also known as bladder pain syndrome.

Rather than sharing a single uniform pharmacologic mechanism, agents in this class function by replenishing the protective glycosaminoglycan layer of the urothelium—as seen with oral pentosan polysulfate sodium—or by exerting local anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and smooth muscle–relaxing effects via intravesical instillation, such as with dimethyl sulfoxide.

Their primary therapeutic role is to alleviate chronic pelvic and bladder pain, urgency, and urinary frequency in patients suffering from non-infectious, chronic bladder inflammation.
