Utipro Plus AF is a Medical Device for the treatment of cystitis or lower uncomplicated urinary tract infections. It should be taken from the first signs of symptoms, which can include a burning sensation during urination, frequent and urgent urination and pain in the lower abdomen. If symptoms do not improve after 48 hours after taking Utipro Plus AF, consult a doctor, as antibiotic treatment may be required.
More severe symptoms such as flank pain (back or side pain), fever or nausea and vomiting indicate that the infection has progressed to the kidneys, which requires medical attention and immediate treatment with antibiotics.
This product is not a substitute for antibiotic treatment, however, Utipro Plus AF can be taken in combination with antibiotics.
To prevent UTI recurrence, Utipro Plus AF can be used long term for 15 consecutive days each month.
Utipro Plus AF is a unique and innovative treatment with a dual mode of action that works in both the bladder and the intestine.
In the bladder, Utipro Plus AF alleviates the acute symptoms of cystitis through the ingredient’s hibiscus and propolis. These act to mildly acidify the urine, creating an unfavourable environment for the bacteria to grow.
In the intestine, the ingredients xyloglucan-gelose create a film that covers the surface of the intestinal mucosa. This mechanical barrier effect can prevent attachment and growth of uropathogenic bacteria (bacteria that cause UTIs) in the intestine, which reduces transmission to the urinary tract and prevents subsequent infection.
As 90% of uncomplicated UTIs originate from bacteria in the bowel, the intestine is an important therapeutic target for the prevention of UTIs. Other than continuous prophylactic antibiotic regimes, no other treatments, except for Utipro Plus AF acts at the intestinal level and has the ability to block colonization of uropathogenic bacteria (bacteria that cause UTIs).
Utipro Plus AF is the first and only non-antibiotic treatment that addresses the root cause and acts at the origin of UTIs in the intestine.
As expected, people experiencing symptoms of cystitis often look for quick relief. Utipro Plus AF begins to work from the onset to improve symptoms. Clinical evidence showed symptoms of cystitis improved by two thirds by day 3 of treatment. If no improvement is observed after 48 hours of initiation, consult your doctor, as antibiotic treatment may be required.
Utipro Plus AF should be taken from the first signs of symptoms of an infection, regardless of where you are on the cycle. After 5 days of treatment with 2 capsules a day, start the cycle again and continue to take 1 capsule a day for 15 consecutive days.
Utipro Plus AF can be taken in combination with antibiotics.
The treatment of uncomplicated cystitis does not always require antibiotic treatment, and in most instances will resolve without their use. Unnecessary use of antibiotics not only burdens the body but can become ineffective if taken too often.
The global rise in antibiotic resistance has led to an increase in the development of national and international clinical guidelines addressing the management of UTIs, with specific attention being given to the adoption of non-antibiotic therapies to help contain antibacterial resistance.</span)
Treatment (uncomplicated lower UTI)
2 capsules per day, for 5 days, taken every 12 hours.
Prevention (uncomplicated lower and upper UTIs)
1 capsule per day for 15 days, followed by a 15-day break. Treatment can be repeated in cycles.
Utipro Plus AF can be taken long-term and can be repeated in cycles as required. Clinical experience from patients in Europe, where the product has been present since 2014, shows good effect with long-term treatment to prevent recurrence of urinary tract infections.
Long-term treatments for up to 9 months have been done without known side effects.
Should you get an acute urinary tract infection during dosing according to preventive treatment (1 capsule a day) you should return to the dosing for treatment (2 capsules a day for 5 days).
In addition, one should be observant of whether symptoms such as fever, back pain nausea & vomiting occur which would indicate a kidney infection. In this case, consult a doctor for further investigation and antibiotic treatment.
E. coli is a coliform bacterium that occurs in the intestine, where it makes up a large proportion of the natural intestinal flora. If the bacterium migrates from the intestine to the bladder, it can cause infections in the urinary tract.
In the bladder, hibiscus and propolis act by reducing the pH value of the urine in the bladder (mild acidification), creating an unfavourable environment for the bacteria to grow. This helps to clear the infection and improve the symptoms of a lower UTI.
Xyloglucan is a natural starch extracted from the tamarind seed.
Xyloglucan has a mechanical mechanism of action and does not affect the metabolic or physiological processes in the body. This means that there is no uptake into the blood.
The ingredients propolis and hibiscus reach, via the blood, the kidneys and then pass on to the bladder. In the bladder, they lower the pH. The acidified environment creates an unfavourable environment for the bacteria to grow.
Yes, the product can be taken in combination with antibiotics and other drugs. There are no known drug interactions.
Utipro Plus AF contains a very low amount of sucrose. This amount is negligible.
The capsule can be taken with or without food. Efficacy is not affected by food intake.
It is possible to break the capsule in the middle and empty out the contents, which is a powder. To make it easier to swallow the powder, we recommend mixing it with yoghurt or in a drink with a thicker consistency. The powder on its own can have a strong smell and taste.
Utipro Plus AF is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless otherwise specified by a healthcare professional.
The product is intended for lower uncomplicated urinary tract infections/cystitis, which is a common infection in women. Men have a much longer urethra than women, so often when men get a urinary tract infection, it is more complicated and needs to be treated by a doctor. However, it is safe for men to use the product.
The product is recommended from 18 years and up, unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare professional.
Yes, Utipro Plus AF is safe for diabetics.
