Questions for Docs

Post by Ralph »

I have a question directed toward the doctors and pharamcysts on this site. Has there been any research done with mast cell stabilizering drugs such as Cromilin (sp?) which is used for asthma? I'm a doctor, but a Radiologist so some may say I'm not a real doc. :smile:

Ancdotal and I'm not a doc, but I tried oral cromolyn sodium (Gastrocrom) without good effect. Could not tolerate it well (made me feel nauseus), so I stopped it aftera short trial.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

Thanks. So that's how you spell that stupid drug. I was too lazy to look it up in the PDR. Thanks for the responce. I wounder if there are other drugs that have been tried either orally or directly infused into the bladder.

Dr. Dimitrakov poted this link here recently. It explains the actions of IC drugs. I found it to be essential reading.

I've seen these article before. It is an excellent review article summerizing the availble therapies for IC (CPPS).
