Can try: There has been little evidence in clinical trials of cranberry juice being an effective way to manage and treat urinary tract infections. Although there are identifiable benefits to cranberry juice in a laboratory setting, it has been failed to be reproduced in animal studies to a wide degree. Antibiotics remain the treatment of choice for a bacterial uti.
