Is Taking Himalaya Renalka Safe For Urinary Infection?

Himalaya Renalka is useful to take as a urine infection cure for long more then 6 to 7 time? Why am I asking because as per Dr prescription started taking this syrup and it was EFFECTIVE so still it is taking continue 6 to 7 time without asking again from Dr. Can you confirm that it is good to continue or there is any bad side effect to take in excess.?

Hello there!
thank you for asking i want you to know that recurrent UTIs need workup to rule out the cause for it. Himalayan renalka is is a homeopathic remedy for UTIs but it more like treat the symptoms not the cause. never overdose. remember every medicine is a poison if taking with out prescription and out of range.

You need prevention more than cure

Here are some measures

decrease frequency of sexual intercourse
Avoid use of a spermicide and diaphragm
Void/Pee immediately after intercourse to lessen the risk of coitus-related introduction of bacteria into the bladder
wipe out after urination defacation from front to back one directional to avoid contamination.
Use regular depilatory agents to keep the groin hygiene
Use hypoallergenic Hygiene gels like Biomousse gels and rinse it like a shampoo for at least 5 minutes.
Drink cranberry juice (10 oz/day) or take cranberry tablets
you can self treat your UTi with XXXX 200 mg twice daily for 3 days
or XXXX 250 mg once daily for three days

If the above maneuvers fail
I find this answer helpful
