Cystitis usually occurs as a result of a common form of infection. Certain bacteria naturally live in the large intestine including a bacterium called E.coli (Escherichia coli).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the time, our body keeps E.coli in check and it is not a problem. However, sometimes, E.coli may cause infections by attaching to the cells of the bladder, resulting in a bladder infection and inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCystitis makes passing urine very painful. Urination is usually more frequent with a feeling of greater urgency. Sleep may also be disturbed due to the pain and discomfort, and working life may be disrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCystitis generally most commonly affects women, but may affect all age groups from either sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Cranclense work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.coli bacteria make chemicals that enable them to cling on to the cells in the bladder where they can replicate and cause infection. CRACLENSE contains cranberry that can prevent bacteria such as E.coli sticking to the cells of the urinary tract lining. As the bacteria are unable to attach and adhere to the bladder cells, the bacteria are passed out while urinating, and cystitis is then less likely to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFemales generally have a greater risk of cystitis than males, especially in the following situations:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased frequency of sexual intercourse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-menopausal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople with incorrect, compromised or poor toilet hygiene such as people with dementia or young girls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who fail to empty their bladder properly due to various conditions such as kidney or bladder stones or, for males, an enlarged prostate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople with diabetes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe elderly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who have an altered immune system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople with a childhood history of cystitis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople with an abnormally structured bladder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who have a urinary catheter in place or after its removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach CRANCLENSE effervescent tablet contains:\u003cbr\u003eHerbal extract equivalent to 10 grams of cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon) fresh fruit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003esodium bicarbonate 1.5 g,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ecitric acid anhydrous 750 mg and\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003etartaric acid 800 mg.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThese are alkalising ingredients which raise the pH (or reduce the acidity) of urine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eDirections\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdults:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take one CRANCLENSE effervescent tablet dissolved in a glass of cool water to help prevent cystitis.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCRANCLENSE may be taken up to four times daily if necessary to relieve the symptoms of cystitis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsk your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about CRANCLENSE, cystitis or incontinence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf symptoms, pain or irritation persist for more than 48 hours, consult your doctor.
