Elmiron Reviews

Was working but got behind on taking it because the meds were so expensive. Now that I have a few pills when I take them I get the worst headache and nausea.
Working / Worked
This was a miracle drug for me. But now my ins. won't cover it and at over $100 a month I can't afford it. It is very frustrating to know that there is a medication that could make me so much more comfortable, and I can't get it.

Finally working, it took me 4 pills a day and a year of this for some relief. No side effects that I know of.
