Prescription: Interstitial cystitis can be treated with diet modification.Prelief works by removing acid from the foods you eat.The prescription drug Elmiron, pentosan polysulfate sodium,is first line medical treatment but drugs such as gabapentin and phenazopyridine as well as bladder distension and instillation of drugs such as DMSO have been used.The web site www.ichelp.org/ can tell you more.Hope this helps
