None of.drugs other than chemotherapeutic drugs cause bladder cystitis. The cystitis could be related to bladder catheterization done during knee replacement surgery. The urine report may be normal but may have symptoms because of urethral or bladder irritation. Drinking plenty of oral fluids and tablet Phenazopyridium may provide the much needed relief.
