Ok, I think it was Uromitexan.

Holy moly! I'll never understand the weirdness of the US health care pricing... Looking at the price list it seems to cost 15-25 euros / tablet but I suppose the hospitals get them cheaper as they wouldnt buy just 20 tablets... Not that I'll ever know since the hospital day + ctx IV + mesna cost around 30 euros per time.
I took 1/2 tablet around the time of the IV, 1/2 tablet was it 2 hours after the IV and then 1/2 tablet later at home. They had exact times when I needed to take them, but don't really remmeber anymore.
