Always take ELMIRON® as prescribed

  • The recommended dosage of ELMIRON® is one capsule, 3 times a day.
  • Take ELMIRON® with water at least 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals.
  • Follow any other advice your doctor gives you for managing symptoms—for example, avoiding foods that may make your symptoms worse.

Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects.
