Treatment & Prevention:
Recurrent urinary tract infections

One in two women will have a urinary tract infection in their life1. A quarter of those women will suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections1.

The top priority must be to prevent repeat infections wherever possible. So it's good to know that help is available in the form of herbal medicines.

Herbs are grown to treat recurrent cystitis

25% of women affected by urinary tract infections suffer from recurrent UTIs1. In treatment, it is important to break the vicious circle so that the bladder can recover.

Extracts of the medicinal plants goldenrod, orthosiphon and restharrow are complementary in their effects2.

Restharrow has a cleansing effect, as does orthosiphon, although the latter has antispasmodic as well as cleansing effects2. As well as an antispasmodic and cleansing effect, goldenrod is also associated with an anti-inflammatory action2.

Orthosiphon extract has been shown to inhibit the formation of the pili3 typically used by bacteria to adhere to mucous membranes. The causative organisms can be flushed out.

Aqualibra –
Thorough in recurrent cystitis.

Aqualibra contains three high-quality substances obtained from the medicinal plants goldenrod, orthosiphon and restharrow. During the manufacturing process, the active ingredients of the plant extracts are processed in a high quality.

The medicinal plants have proven effective in combination both in practice and in a clinical setting and are complementary in their effects2,4. This synergistic interaction is the key to Aqualibra's good efficacy4. A course of treatment with Aqualibra is therefore an option after short-term treatment with Cystinol akut or an antibiotic and after an acute infection has subsided.

If symptoms such as fever, blood in the urine, kidney pain or pain in the side occur, you are strongly advised to see a doctor.

When should you see a doctor?

You really should see a doctor if your symptoms last for more than 1 week despite treatment or if any of the following signs are present, which may indicate complications: fever, blood in the urine, back pain and pain in your side. The causes of recurrent cystitis may also be anatomical. If you have frequently recurrent infections, we recommend that you consult a doctor.
