Fixed combination of hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate recurrent cystitis
Hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate are widely distributed glycosaminoglycans throughout the human body. Among others, they also cover the bladder surface and the disruption of their layer may result in a higher incidence of urinary tract infections (IMC).

Keywords: IMC, prostatic cancer, GAG, recurrence, BPS/IC, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, cystitis.
