Medical Guidelines For the Management of Urinary Tract Infections in Women

Due to the global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), there is a continued drive for antibiotic stewardship and more prudent prescribing of antibiotics1. Several clinical practice guidelines recommend the consideration of antibiotic free therapies for the management of both acute and
recurrent urinary tract infections1,2,3.

Acute Lower
Uncomplicated UTIs (cystitis)

Consider antibiotic free approach and delaying antibiotic use for 48  hours in patients under 65 years of age1,2,3If symptoms worsen or do not improve within 48 hours, a back up antibiotic prescription is indicated

Prevention of
Recurrent UTIs

Antibiotic free options can be offered as a prophylaxis to patients with  recurrent UTIs1,4,5

How does Utipro® Plus AF work?

Utipro green line

Xyloglucan-Gelose

Xyloglucan is a mucoprotectant of plant origin.6

Its fibrous composition makes it resistant to digestion.  When it arrives in the large intestine, its viscoelastic properties allow it to form a protective layer over the surface of the intestinal mucosa, reinforcing the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

This reduces the adhesion of uropathogenic bacteria to the intestinal wall, which in turn reduces growth and proliferation of bacteria in the intestine.6

The overall effect reduces transmission of bacteria outside of the intestine which may prevent  infection of the urinary tract.6

Hibiscus & Propolis

Hibiscus, a type of plant and Propolis, a compound produced by bees both contain organic acids that mildly decrease urinary pH in the bladder.6

Infected urine contains large amounts of nitrite. Acidification of nitrite results in the formation of nitric oxide (NO) which creates an unfavourable environment for bacterial growth, helping to eliminate bacteria and control symptoms of cystitis.6

Why breaking the cycle of UTIs can start with your intestine?

The majority of uncomplicated UTIs originate from bacteria in the large intestine, making it an important target for the prevention of recurrent infections.6

Utipro Plus AF is currently the only non antibiotic treatment approach that effectively targets the source of infection in the intestine by creating a protective layer that reduces the growth of bacteria and their subsequent ascent into the bladder.6

Demonstrated efficacy in published clinical trials and published scientific papers for both acute and recurrent urinary tract infections.

Utipro Acute Cystosis Icon

2 Caps x 5 Days

For Acute Cystitis

From the development of the first symptoms of urinary discomfort.
Take 2 capsules per day (1 capsule every 12 hours) for 5 days.

Utipro Infections Icon

1 Caps x 15 Days

For Recurrent UTIs

To prevent recurrence, take 1 capsule per day for 15 consecutive days per month.
Treatment can be repeated in cycles to prevent recurrences.

If a UTI occurs during a 15 day cycle or the 15 days break.

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
