First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement called Colipral® can prevent repeat bladder infections (cystitis) in menopausal women aged 55–70. Participants take either the probiotic or a placebo for 12 weeks and are monitored for 24 weeks to see if they have fewer infections, need fewer antibiotics, and feel better overall. The goal is to find a safe, non-antibiotic way to manage this common condition.
