Urobiotic is a combination of antibiotic (oxytetrac y cline HC1) , chemotherapeutic (sulfamethizole) and analgesic (phenazopyridine HC1) agents designed specifically for urinary tract infections. Tw e nty patients with various urinary tract infections were treated with "Urobiotic" in this study. The dosages were 1 capsule 4 times daily in 8 cases and 2 capsules 4 times daily in the remaining 12 cases, both of which continued for 5 to 7 days. The effects thus attained are summarized as follows : In patients with acute cystitis, "Urobiotic" was noted to be effective in 4 out of 5 cases in which 4 capsules daily were given, and in all of 6 cases in which the dosage was 8 capsules daily. In chronic urinary infections, consisting of 6 cases of chronic cystitis and 3 cases of chronic pyelonephritis, "Urobiotic" was noted to be not effective in all of 3 cases in which the dosage was 4 capsules daily, but effective in 4 out of 6 cases in which 8 capsules daily were given. As side effects, mild gastric discomfort was noted in only 1 patient who was given 8 capsules daily. In con c lusion, "Urobiotic" was believed to be an effective remedy not only for acute cystitis, but also for chronic urinary tract infections. Dosage recommended is 8 capsules daily. |
