INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS (Physician Copy)
RIMSO-50® is a sterile solution of 50% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 50% water that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the symptomatic relief of patients with interstitial cystitis.
RIMSO-50® will be instilled in the bladder on an inpatient or out-patient basis, which will be determined by your physician.
Some data indicate that dimethyl sulfoxide could change the effectiveness of medication(s) that you may be presently receiving. Be sure to mention the name and dosage of all medicines you are taking to your physician before a RIMSO-50® instillation.
A garlic-like taste may be noted by the patient within a few minutes after instillation of RIMSO-50® (dimethyl sulfoxide). This taste may last several hours. An odor on the breath and skin may be present and remain for up to 72 hours.
Some patients may experience discomfort on administration of the drug. Usually this becomes less prominent with repeated administration.
If you are pregnant or nursing, ask your physician about the advisability of using RIMSO-50®.
Some eye changes have been observed in animals treated with DMSO in large doses for prolonged periods. Therefore your doctor may want you to have eye evaluations, including slit lamp examinations prior to and periodically during treatment.
