Frequently Asked Questions: Over-The-Counter UTI Relief & Urinary Tract Supplements

Uqora offers two distinct categories of products: over-the-counter (OTC) UTI relief products and proactive urinary tract supplements.

  • For Active Symptoms: Our UTI Emergency Kit and Max UTI Pain Relief + Flush Convenience Bundle are available over the counter without a prescription. They both feature maximum OTC strength Phenazopyridine HCl to relieve pain, burning, and urgency. The UTI Emergency Kit also contains Methenamine to help control the progression of an infection. The Convenience Bundle also includes Flush, a urinary tract drink mix supplement, to proactively flush the urinary tract.

Important Medical Note: No over-the-counter supplement or OTC medication can cure or treat an UTI. An active urinary tract infection requires prescription antibiotics from a healthcare provider. Our OTC relief products are designed to keep you comfortable until you are able to see a doctor and are not designed to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The main difference lies in whether you are reactively managing an existing issue or proactively supporting your daily urinary health:

  • OTC UTI Relief (Reactive): Products like the UTI Pain Relief tablets and Infection Control tablets in our UTI Emergency Kit are short-term solutions (used for up to 2 days) to manage symptoms of an infection while waiting for medical care.
  • Urinary Tract Supplements (Proactive): Products like Flush, Flush Advanced+, Defend, and Promote are daily-use supplements formulated to provide ongoing, proactive urinary tract support. They do not treat active infections but work continuously to maintain a healthy urinary tract environment.

We offer targeted bundles to fit different urinary health needs, making it easy to get more comprehensive support and save up to 35%:

  • The Complete Regimen: Our original, best-selling 3-part daily bundle. It includes Flush (our original D-Mannose urinary tract drink mix), Defend (capsules to cleanse biofilm* and support bladder wall integrity*), and Promote (a specialized vaginal probiotic). It’s ideal for standard, daily proactive care.
  • The Flush Advanced+ Regimen: Our maximum-support 3-part bundle. It substitutes original Flush with Flush Advanced+, a dual-action drink mix combining clinically dosed whole-fruit cranberry with D-mannose. This bundle is highly recommended for individuals facing recurrent urinary tract challenges.
  • Convenience Kits: If you want fast relief combined with ongoing care, kits like the Max UTI Pain Relief + Flush combine quick OTC symptom relief with a proactive urinary tract flush.

If you are currently fighting an active infection or taking antibiotics, we recommend the following guidelines:

  • Proactive supplements: We recommend checking with your doctor before getting started. We do not recommend drinking Flush or Flush Advanced+ while on antibiotics. Flush contains potassium and potassium citrate. It can be important to monitor intake of potassium while on some antibiotics. You can begin Flush once you’re finished with your antibiotic treatment.

Keep in mind, Uqora’s products are not a treatment for UTIs. We always recommend checking with your doctor about any questions or concerns about your specific antibiotics/medications.

  • OTC Products & Test Strips: Always follow instructions for taking an antibiotic even if the test strip result is negative. We do not recommend using UTI Infection Control while on antibiotics due to this product containing Methenamine, which can have possible interactions with medications.

Some over-the-counter urinary tract supplements rely on a single ingredient, but Uqora uses science-backed, multi-ingredient formulas:

  • D-Mannose (found in Flush & Flush Advanced+): Helps reduce unwanted bacterial adhesion in the urinary tract, allowing certain bacteria to be more easily flushed away.
  • Whole-Fruit Cranberry (found in Flush Advanced+): Uses Pacran®, a clinically studied whole-fruit cranberry ingredient for urinary tract support. Its cranberry compounds and metabolites help prevent unwanted bacteria from adhering to the lining of the urinary tract and bladder, allowing them to be flushed out.
  • Biofilm Defense Blend (found in Defend): Biofilm is a collection of bacteria bound together that can attach to tissue. Biofilm can shield microorganisms from your body’s own defense systems and can remain in place over time. Defend includes ingredients studied for their ability to help cleanse biofilm*, and supports bladder wall integrity* for a healthier urinary tract environment.
