Browse urine infection (UTI) and cystitis relief products at WithAid, a UK regulated online pharmacy. This category includes over-the-counter cystitis relief sachets and granules designed for short-term symptom support. These drinkable treatments, often cranberry flavoured, are mixed with water and commonly used for mild symptoms such as a burning sensation when passing urine, discomfort, or needing to urinate more often. Many work by reducing urine acidity, which may help ease irritation when used according to the label.
If you’re unsure about your symptoms, or they are severe, persistent, or keep returning, it’s important to seek medical advice. Some people may require prescription treatment.
