Elmiron and the water thing again -sorry!

[DKIM]

I have been taking Elmiron for almost 2 months now and am concerned because I don't always take it with a FULL glass of water, especially the dose at nightime...I didn't think too much of it until I started reading some older posts and now I am worried because I want to get it right...any feedback would be really appreciated

Hi,
Dr. Lowell Parsons actually recommends that you take Elmiron with as little water as possible. He told us to ignore the bottle directions of drinking it with a full glass of water. The theory behind taking it with less water is that it gives the Elmiron a greater chance of actually aborbing into your body. It is so poorly absorbed as is, so I was told that we didn't want to dilute it down any further. Just thought I'd pass that along....

DKIM,

I take Elmiron at night with a tiny swallow of water. No problems!

Thanks Jill & Pat...for setting me straight!

I've been taking it for 1 month now and I do the same thing at night. Only a few drinks of water. So far, I haven't noticed any problems.
