Key takeaways

Glycosaminoglycans are used to treat interstitial cystitis (a painful bladder syndrome). Glycosaminoglycans work by providing protection to your organs to promote healing. As an example, they protect the bladder wall from irritating substances found in the urine to help with interstitial cystitis. Examples include Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium). You can take these medications to help manage your symptoms.
