I was prescribed them by a urologist but that was only after I’d been seeing him for 6 months, had 2 severe UTI’s that he had tested for, had a cystoscopy and my urethra widened and they still came back.
I had to search for a good urologist and beg for my GP to refer me because they kept fobbing me off.
I had one GP tell me that UTI’s were part of being a woman
Since then, I’ve moved and had to fight to keep the prescription. I even got referred to the infectious diseases clinic in London for help with treatment of long term antibiotics but the doctor there told me to keep them if it’s what worked for me.
And it does work, pretty well. Soon as I feel any kind of tingling, burning or pressure in my bladder, I take one and 5-6 hours later all symptoms are gone. I then take one a days for a few days after and in over 2 years I’ve never suffered as much as I did for most of my life.
A friend does take some very good super strength cranberry tablets from Amazon that she said work very well too.
