An Oral Spray for UTIs, Works for 9 Years
“An oral spray vaccine against recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) prevented the condition from returning for up to nine years in more than half of study participants, new research has shown. It offers a safe, effective method of UTI prevention and an alternative to antibiotic treatment. . . . . Women are affected more than men simply because of their anatomy, with 80-85% of infections caused by the bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, and Enterococcus faecalis are other culprits. . . . . Sold as Uromune, the vaccine is made from inactivated versions of the four bugs listed above, stimulating the immune system to generate long-term protection against UTIs. . . . . A recent study led by clinicians at the UK’s Royal Berkshire Hospital has demonstrated that it can be effective for up to nine years.” MORE
