I take elmiron 2 pills in the morning, 2 pills at night. They make my acid reflux flare like crazy sometimes but I take my aciphex pill with my elmiron in the morning and at night and it seems to calm it down within 20 min.
Hey borntoswim,
Try taking the elmiron out of the capsule.The gel from the capsules used to give me the same problem.

Oh, I forgot to mention that. I can't swallow pills, so I have been taking it out of the capsules and drinking it with water. The irritation isn't terrible, but noticeable. I would have taken tums after, but we're not supposed to take anything with it other than water...
I open the capsule and take it with a tall glass of water but I find that I feel sick for a couple of hours after. That, on top of bruising, my doctor said to cut back to just 2 doses a day.
I'm just wondering if others feel that Elmiron is irritating or upsetting their stomachs...
