How do you make clorpactin solution?

If clorpactin (oxychlorosene) is given to you as a powder, contact your health care professional for directions on mixing it with water to form a solution. The powder should not be used without mixing it in water as it can cause burns and severe skin damage.CAUTION: Clorpactin WCS-90 should never be used as a powder. The strong oxidizing power of the powder will cause burns that can result in necrotic tissue. It should be used as a solution only, and in the concentrations specified. Not for systemic use.See the Web Links to the left for more information.


Where can you get clorpactin?

At most drug stores but you usually have to call and order it. It's not something that is stocked. I got mine from Walgreens. They didn't know what it was immediately and had to look it up. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator.


Interstitial cystitis?

DefinitionInterstitial cystitis is a long-term (chronic) inflammation of the bladder wall.Alternative NamesCystitis - interstitial; ICCauses, incidence, and risk factorsInterstitial cystitis (IC) is a painful condition due to inflammation of the tissues of the bladder wall. The cause is unknown. The condition is usually diagnosed by ruling out other conditions (such as sexually transmitted disease, bladder cancer, and bladder infections).IC is frequently misdiagnosed as a urinary tract infection. Patients often go years without a correct diagnosis. On average, there is about a 4-year delay between the time the first symptoms occur and the diagnosis is made.The condition generally occurs around age 30 to 40, although it has been reported in younger people. Women are 10 times more likely to have IC than men.SymptomsPain during intercoursePelvic painUrinary discomfortUrinary frequency (up to 60 times a day in severe cases)Urinary urgencySigns and testsDiagnosis is made by ruling out other causes. Tests include:Bladder biopsyCystoscopy(endoscopy of bladder)Urine analysisUrine cultureUrine cytologyVideo urodynamics (shows how much urine must be in the bladder before you feel the need to urinate)TreatmentThere is no cure for IC, and there are no standard or consistently effective treatments. Results vary from person to person. As long as the cause is unknown, treatment is based on trial and error until you find relief.Elmiron is the only medication taken by mouth that is specifically approved for treating IC. This medicine coats the bladder like Pepto-Bismol coats the stomach.Other medicines may include:Opioid painkillers for severe painTricyclic antidepressants such as Elavil (amitriptyline) to relieve pain and urinary frequencyVistaril (hydroxyzine pamoate), an antihistamine that causes sedation, helps reduce urinary frequencyOther therapies include:Bladder hydrodistention (over-filling the bladder with fluid while under general anesthesia)Bladder training (using relaxation techniques to train the bladder to go only at specific times)Instilled medications - medicines are placed directly into the bladder. Medicines that are given this way include dimethyl sulfoxide (DMS), heparin, Clorpactin, lidocaine, doxorubicin, or bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine.Physical therapy and biofeedback (may help relieve pelvic floor muscle spasms)Surgery, ranging from cystoscopic manipulation to bladder removal (cystectomy)Diet modificationSome patients find that changes in their diet can help control symptoms. The idea is to avoid foods and beverages that can cause bladder irritation. Below are some of the foods that the Interstitial Cystitis Association says may cause bladder irritation.Aged cheesesAlcoholArtificial sweetenersChocolateCitrus juicesCoffeeCranberry juice (Note: Although cranberry juice is often recommended for urinary tract infections, it can make IC symptoms worse.)Fava and lima beansMeats that are cured, processed, smoked, canned, aged, or that contain nitritesMost fruits except blueberries, honeydew melon, and pearsNuts except almonds, cashews, and pine nutsOnionsRye breadSeasonings that contain MSGSour creamSourdough breadSoyTeaTofuTomatoesYogurtExperts suggest that you do not stop eating all of these foods at one time. Instead, try eliminating one at a time to see if that helps relieve your symptoms.Support GroupsFor additional information and support, see interstitial cystitis support groups.Expectations (prognosis)Treatment results vary. Some people respond well to simple treatments and dietary changes. Others may require extensive treatments or surgery.ComplicationsChronic depressionChronic pain that may cause a change in lifestyleEmotional traumaHigh costs associated with frequent medical visitsSide effects of treatments (depending on the treatment)Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have symptoms of interstitial cystitis. Be sure to mention that you suspect this disorder. It is not well recognized or easily diagnosed.ReferencesHanno PM. Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis and related disorders.
