Hi, I have been asked to take cranpac capsules for my uti problems which has been continuing for the past six mths nearly, I am currently taking one capsule daily and it seems to help and give relief, My question is would it be more beneficial if I took two capsules together or may be one during the day and one in the night.

Hello!
I think that you should not take two capsules daily because your doctor recommend you this dose and the side effects(getting too many CH may lead to an increase in total calories,causing obesity:diarrhea:kidney stones ect) but if you take two capsules daily you should change the diet(cranpac have 300mg protein and carbohidrates)
To relief your symptoms i think that you should make a urine culture to determine who is the germ and the sensitivity of antibiotic.
You should drink 2_3 l water.
For more information you should consult with your doctor.
Take care of your self

Hello.Although the fundamental substance of the drug that you refer to relieve urinary discomfort is natural (bilberry extract), by other components is not advisable to take two tablets a day except for a few days.I advise you to continue taking one tablet per day.I wish you good health.
