My doctor often gives me antibiotics to treat my recurrent cystitis; can I take Cysticlean® with antibiotics? Cysticlean Capsules are a daily Food supplement for the treatment of cystitis and urinary tract infections ( often referred to as UTIs). Most mild & uncomplicated cases of cystitis tend to clear up within a few days and you can treat it at home by drinking plenty of Mineral Water, and also take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Cranberry juice has long been considered as a potential help, but the high natural Sugar content is a concern. Cysticlean is different cranberry juice, and as an extract, you would have to drink a lot of cranberry juice to replace just one capsule of Cysticlean. Cysticlean is a food supplement which is 100 per cent extract of cranberries. The benefits are due to their PAC (proanthocyanidins) content. This formulation gives the best results which can’t be achieved by cranberries alone.

Cysticlean 240 mg PAC is a dry American cranberry extract with a high content of proanthocyanidins (240 mg PAC) with an anti-adhesion activity against bacteria Escherichia coli (Ec) of up to 90%. This anti-adhesion activity is related to the PAC concentration: the more PAC the more anti-adhesion activity. What is the American Cranberry in Cysticlean? The American cranberry,fruit of the plantVaccinium macrocarpon,is known for its antibacterial properties and benefits of maintaining the health of the urinary tract thanks to its content ofproanthocyanidins (PAC). Cysticlean sachets contains powerful compounds called proanthocynadins from North American cranberry combined with D-mannose, a carbohydrate that soothes any inflammation in the urinary tract and attaches itself to various types of bacteria that may be the cause of infections. As the D-mannose and PAC are water-soluble, the dislodged bacteria are eventually eliminated from the body. American cranberry is a plant-based source of quinic acid, citric acid and malic acid.Patients receiving warfarin or other anticoagulants should consult their doctor before taking Cysticlean® 240 mg PAC.

There are a lot of scientific/technical publications proving that cranberry extracts are safe and effective in preventing urinary tract infections during pregnancy. Unless there is a known or unknown/unexpected allergy against cranberry, there is not expected to be any adverse reactions/side effect from taking Cysticlean during pregnancy. However we always advise you to consult your doctor.

I understand your concern. Unlike other “similar” products on the market, it has a concentration of Type A PAC- proanthcyanidins-240 mg per capsule. This active ingredient is extracted from a large amount of cranberries so it is not simple cranberry juice or simple cranberry capsules. That is why it is so good. Please stay on it for one more month.
