Question 1

does cranberry juice have any effect on people who take risperidol or medications?

Accepted Answer

Kidney function: There are no drug interactions between cranberry juice and Risperdal or other medications. One potential concern with cranberry juice is that it is often taken for urinary tract infections.  Infection can reduce kidney function, and some medications require dosage adjustments when the kidneys aren't functioning as well.  Keep this in mind when you talk to your doctor.

Question 2

i'm not on any medications andmy urine smells like eggs. i drunk some cranberry juice and it went away then came back. i haven't ate asparagus either.

Accepted Answer

Maybe diet related: Hi
The egg smell is caused by sulfur. If you smell it in the urine, usually it is because you're eating foods that have a lot of sulfur in them or you are dehydrated. Sometimes UTIs can smell pretty bad but you'd like have other symptoms. There are some rare illnesses that can cause this but again, you'd likely have other symptoms. Hope this helps

Question 3

i have a severe uti currently, but i am taking medication prescribed to me. and i am drinking a lot of cranberry juice my stool has been red and i went to the bathroom at least three or four times today. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Lots of cranberry juice could be the cause of the red stools. Your physician can do a simple test of your stool in the office which detects blood. If you feel weak or if red stools continue, get the stool tested or go to the hospital emergency room for prompt evaluation and testing.

Question 4

i'm experiencing uti symptoms, burning after peeing sometimes as well as frequent urination at times, and pangs at time. can't get to a doctor for a few days. can i take anxiety medication with cranberry pills?

Accepted Answer

: You can take these together, but if you have a bacterial infection, you will need antibiotics ASAP.  An untreated bladder infection can spread to the kidneys (pyelonephritis), and from there into the bloodstream (sepsis), so, it is bar far safer to be seen today.

Question 5

i currently have a severe uti. my current medication list is: nitrofurantoin, metoprolol, eliquis, vyvanse, stelara, methotrexate and folic acid. can i drink cranberry juice to help speed the healing for my uti? thanks

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you can drink cranberry juice but it makes no difference in most people. If it is effective and it does not cost much you can continue. Make sure you drink the sugar free products for limiting calories intake. Increase fluid intake 2 -2.5 liters a day is probably the most practical and effective way. By the medications you are listing, high fluid intake seems not a contraindication.

Question 6

are cranberry concentrate pills 500mg safe in early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There should not be a problem with taking them.

Question 7

can super concentrated cranberry juice cause testicle pain and lower back pain on the left side?

Accepted Answer

Cranberry juice: Hardly likely.
If you have pain without the juice please contact your doctor.

Question 8

will cranberry juice help clear your system for a drug test in a couple days?

Accepted Answer

No it will not: It may dilute the urine but drug testing labs check if urine has been diluted by checking for creatinine level in urine and if it is abnormally low they will know that you have diluted the urine.

Question 9

i have cranberry drink at home it has 23% concentrate of cranberry and cranberry flavour water and sugar my question is adding water to acidic fruit drink decrease it ph level as cranberry has lower ph and water is almost neutral please reply?

Accepted Answer

: When making the juice, some other ingredients are also added and the final product will be likely not as acidic as its main ingredient, either cranberry, lemon or orange. If the juice is acidic then adding plain water will increase the pH closer to the neutral pH of 7. Take care.

Question 10

can taking azo cranberry supplements aid in removing drug metabolites from urine? such as cocaine.

Accepted Answer

Cocaine is a : Dangerous drug. If you are trying to hide the signs in urine tests you are probably addicted and need professional help before it destroys your life, work, relationships  and health. Contact a therapist who specializes in drug addictions.
