Can I drink cranberry juice with an antibiotic?
Good morning I got an antibiotic for cystitis, e coli bacteria and my question is whether I can drink cranberry juice diluted with water with an antibiotic. I would like to try because I have a second recurrence of bacteria in a month.

For medicinal purposes, it is recommended to consume half a glass of juice every day, diluted in half a liter of water.

There are no contraindications to the use of cranberries when taking an antibiotic. What's more, cranberries increase the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics used in urinary tract infections. The substances contained in this fruit (proanthocyanidins) reduce the permeability of the bacterial cell wall, as a result of which the drug more easily penetrates into the body of the microbe. Just do not wash down the antibiotic with cranberry juice. Drugs are best washed down with low-mineralized still water, at room temperature or ordinary tap water, boiled and cooled. Usually, the optimal amount of water is the contents of an average cup or glass (about 200 ml). I also encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/zakazenie-drog-moczowych
