Cranberry for urinary infection?

Question

I have taken cranberry extract for successfully treating a uti in the past. I cannot remember the dosage. Does anyone know how many mgs per dose, and times per day for effective treatment? All I remember is that not taking enough will not work and too much will cause diarreah.

BTW, I just woke up this morning with a hint of symptoms. I know enough to go to the doctor within a few days if no improvement.

Answer 1

You will probably see a dosage on the bottle. My guess is 2 to 3 capsules (if you are taking it in capsule form) 2 to 3 times per day.

You can adjust your dosage up or down depending on the result.

Answer 2

i think you will get a leaflet in the medicine, with the dosage in it. i wish you well

Answer 3

You can find some answers in a web search for cranberry + uti + dose.

Answer 5

Try AZO pills.  They turn your urine orange, but they ease the pain wonderfully!  You can find them in the medicine isle in almost any store, like wal-mart, target, walgreens, albertsons, rite-aid, etc.

As for the Cranberry pills, I think you can take 2 a day.  But they are mainly to prevent it and not really get rid of pain.

Answer 6

Sorry, dunno.

I use level tablespoon of baking soda in half glass or water 3 a day. Sure the cranberry tastes better, but am not in a hurry to need to try it.

Answer 7

yes.

Answer 8

Cranberry, 400 mg two times daily or you can drink 16oz of pure (unsweetened), cranberry juice daily.
