A member asked:
Can taking cranberry juice cure a urinary tract infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Cranberry juice inhibits bacteria from adhering to the bladder lining and by that mechanism is believed to be helpful in preventing cystitis. It is not particularly effective once the infection has been established.
