Summary
Nineteen cases of hemorrhagic cystitis and trigonitis were treated with bio-flavonoids, otherwise known as citrus vitamin P. (C.V.P.). The results of this therapy compare favorably with those of the seven cases of hemorrhagic cystitis and trigonitis treated with Gantrisin, a sulfa preparation.
