Cystopen Capsule is used to provide relief from bladder pain and discomfort associated with intestinal cystitis. Intestinal cystitis is a disease that causes scarring and swelling of the bladder wall. It is a painful bladder syndrome with bladder pressure, bladder pain, and pelvic pain.
 
Cystopen Capsule contains Pentosan polysulfate, which works by preventing irritation of the bladder walls by binding to the mucosal membrane of the intestine. This helps in preventing the irritating chemicals present in the urine from coming in contact with the bladder wall. Thereby, Cystopen Capsule provides relief from the discomfort associated with intestinal cystitis.
 
You are advised to take Cystopen Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach upset, headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, and heartburn. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Intestinal cystitis: Intestinal cystitis is a disease that causes scarring and swelling of the bladder wall. It is a painful bladder syndrome with bladder pressure, bladder pain, and pelvic pain. The pain could be mild or severe. Intestinal cystitis is more common in women than in men. Symptoms include pelvic pain, urgent and persistent need to urinate, frequent urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. Although the signs and symptoms of intestinal cystitis are similar to urinary tract infections, usually, there is no infection in the case of intestinal cystitis. However, the symptoms may worsen if a person with intestinal cystitis gets an infection in the urinary tract.
