About Cranpac Capsule

Cranpac Capsule is a nutritional supplement that helps in treating bladder infections and in reducing the pungent smell of infected urine. Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in humans caused by microbes. It can occur in any part of the urinary tract, such as the bladder, urethra, kidneys or ureters.

Cranpac Capsule contains Cranberry extract that works by preventing certain kinds of bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls and causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Cranpac Capsule reduces infection and relieves the urine of any discolouration or bad odour.

Take Cranpac Capsule as advised by the physician. In some cases, Cranpac Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as stomach upset and diarrhoea, if taken in very large quantities. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.
