How it works
Arbutin is hydrolysed in the kidney to hydroquinone, which exerts antimicrobial activity against E. coli and other gram-negative bacteria responsible for most UTIs.
Do not use for more than 1 week or more than 5 times per year due to hydroquinone toxicity risk. Do not use in pregnancy, kidney disease, or children. Should not replace antibiotics in pyelonephritis.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
