APAG® Cranutix Cranberry Effervescent Drink 3.5g x 12 Sachets

APAG® Cranutix Cranberry Effervescent Drink 3.5g x 12 Sachets

APAG® Cranutix is a cranberry-based effervescent beverage formulated to support normal urinary tract and bladder health.

Each sachet contains 850mg of cranberry fruit juice powder. Cranberries naturally contain plant compounds known as proanthocyanidins, or PACs, which are commonly associated with urinary tract health.

The formulation also contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When mixed with water, these ingredients produce a refreshing effervescent lemonade-flavoured drink that can be conveniently incorporated into a daily urinary-health routine.

Cranutix is intended as a supportive nutritional beverage. It does not diagnose, treat or cure an active urinary tract infection and should not delay appropriate medical assessment.

Product Information

What Is APAG® Cranutix Used For?

APAG® Cranutix is formulated to complement a daily urinary-health routine. It may be considered by individuals seeking nutritional support for:

• Normal urinary tract health.
• General bladder wellbeing.
• Maintaining adequate fluid intake.
• Occasional urinary discomfort after appropriate medical assessment.
• A history of recurrent urinary tract concerns.
• Supporting urinary wellbeing during and after menopause.
• A convenient cranberry beverage without added sugar.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of a possible urinary tract infection should consult a doctor or pharmacist. Cranutix should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for an active infection.

How Does APAG® Cranutix Support Urinary Health?

Cranberry Fruit Juice Powder

Cranberries contain naturally occurring plant compounds, including A-type proanthocyanidins. These compounds are believed to influence how certain bacteria interact with the lining of the urinary tract.

Cranberry products may help reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections in some individuals. However, results vary between people, products and cranberry concentrations.

Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate

Citric acid and sodium bicarbonate react when mixed with water to create the product’s effervescent drink format.

Sodium bicarbonate may also influence urinary acidity. This may help some individuals feel more comfortable when urinating, but it does not eliminate bacteria or cure an infection.

Fluid Intake

Preparing each sachet with 200ml of water contributes to daily fluid intake. Adequate hydration supports normal urine production and urinary function.

Information for People With Diabetes

Can Cranutix Prevent or Treat a UTI?

Cranberry products may help reduce the recurrence of symptomatic urinary tract infections in some individuals, particularly women who experience recurrent UTIs. The benefit is not guaranteed and may depend on the cranberry preparation and its active-compound content.

Cranutix should not be described as a guaranteed method of preventing urinary tract infections. It also does not treat an active bacterial UTI.

A confirmed or suspected infection may require medical assessment, urine testing and prescription treatment. Delaying appropriate treatment can allow an infection to spread from the bladder to the kidneys.

Common Symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection

Possible symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection include:

• Pain or a burning sensation when urinating.
• Needing to urinate more frequently than usual.
• A sudden or urgent need to urinate.
• Passing only a small amount of urine.
• Cloudy, strong-smelling or blood-stained urine.
• Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort.
• Feeling generally unwell or unusually tired.

These symptoms may have causes other than a UTI. A healthcare professional can determine whether testing or treatment is required.

When Should You Seek Medical Attention?

Seek prompt medical advice if urinary symptoms are persistent, recurring or becoming worse.

Urgent medical assessment is particularly important if symptoms include:

• Fever, chills or uncontrollable shivering.
• Pain in the back, side or below the ribs.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Blood in the urine.
• Severe lower abdominal pain.
• Confusion, unusual drowsiness or significant weakness.
• Inability to pass urine.
• Symptoms during pregnancy.
• Symptoms in a man, child, elderly person or person with a urinary catheter.
• Symptoms in someone with diabetes, kidney disease or a weakened immune system.

These signs may indicate a kidney infection or another condition requiring prompt treatment.

• Drink adequate water throughout the day unless you have been advised to restrict fluids.
• Do not regularly delay urination.
• Empty the bladder fully when urinating.
• Urinate after sexual activity when practical.
• Maintain appropriate personal hygiene.
• Avoid strongly fragranced intimate products if they cause irritation.
• Seek medical advice for recurrent urinary symptoms.
