cranberry juice vs. cranberry capsules

I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF WOMEN HAVING RECURRENT UTI'S B/C THEIR HUSBANDS CARRY THE INFECTION AND DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE IT. MEN CAN CARRY A UTI AND NEVER KNOW THAT THEY HAVE IT. HIS PARTNER RECEIVES THE GERMS DURING SEX CAUSING A UTI. SHE IS SYMPTOMATIC, TAKES ANTIBIOTICS, GETS WELL, HAS SEX. IT'S A VICIOUS <--(SP?) CYCLE. UNTIL THE MAN IS DIAGNOSED WITH THE UTI AND TAKES ANTIBIOTICS. THIS MAY BE THE PROB. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PUT IN MY 2 CENTS.
DEFINITELY AVOID THE NURSES CLINICAL BLADDER (NURSES ARE WELL KNOWN FOR HAVING A BLADDER MADE OF STEEL AND WON'T PEE FOR A WHOLE SHIFT OR EVEN ONE WHOLE DAY. WAITING TOO LONG TO PEE AND STRETCHING OUT THE BLADDER). IF YOU HOLD YOUR URINE FOR A LONG TIME. YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO HARBOR BACTERIA CAUSING A UTI. ALSO, AS COMMON SENSE AND NURSING SCHOOL WILL TELL YOU. LADIES SHOULD WIPE FROM FRONT TO BACK. CLEAN "DOWN THERE" BEFORE AND AFTER SEX. IF YOU ALREADY KNEW THIS. SORRY FOR SOUNDING LIKE A KNOW IT ALL. JUST THOUGHT I'D PASS THE INFO ON TO SOMEONE.

well what good is a cranberry tablet, I mean it doesnt go with vodka at all!
I want to get a lil buzz while preventing UTI's thanks..
actually one of my co workers takes cranberry tabs or capsules or whatever they are and she said they work like a charm. no UTI's. give it a try!

damn us and our shorter urethras!
UTI's are a pain.

We have been usung them in the nursing home setting for 12 months now to see if they reduce the UTI rate in the elderly.
they have been great. Stats showed an 85% drop in the UTI rates in the last 12 months and our ladies that get them on a regular basis have been UTI free.
I'd give it a go, the AB's just start the vicious thrush cycle.

I suffer from frequent UTIs as well and have done well with the capsules. I take four a day, sometimes more if I think something is going on down there.
Much easier to find and easier to palate than unsweetend cranberry juice. x
