Mechanism of Action of Drugs

Cranberry Extract is used in urinary tract infections by making the urine acidic and stops the growth of bacteria. It is used in treating kidney stones, to deodorize urine in people with difficulty controlling urination, neurogenic bladder, to prevent urine catheters from becoming blocked. It is also used to increase urine flow, and kill microbes.

D-mannose is used for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and treating carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, an inherited metabolic disorder. It prevents certain kinds of bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and prevents infection.
