Article Synopsis
- Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) are common in women, and BNO 1045 (Canephron® N) has been shown to be effective, similar to traditional antibiotics like fosfomycin.
- Analysis of urine samples from women with uUTI treated with either BNO 1045 or fosfomycin revealed that both treatments significantly lowered levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8.
- The findings suggest that BNO 1045 not only alleviates uUTI symptoms but also effectively reduces inflammation, making it a viable alternative to fosfomycin.
