Randomized Controlled TrialAntibiotic versus cranberry in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary infection: a randomized controlled trial.
This study was designed to determine the effect of cranberry extract used in patients with single urinary tract infections. ⋯ Considering the results of this study, it was determined that the patient's complaints decreased from day 3 and their well-being increased with the use of cranberry only. Specifically, on day 7, the well-being of the cranberry group was higher than that of the fosfomycin group. For this reason, cranberry is a favorable alternative to antibiotics in uncomplicated and simple urinary tract infections.
