Pharmacists step in to treat bladder infections in women
NCT ID NCT05510128
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special protocol used by community pharmacists in France can help women with simple bladder infections (cystitis) get relief more quickly. The goal was to reduce symptoms and avoid unnecessary trips to the doctor or emergency room. The study included 145 women aged 18 to 64 with mild symptoms, but it was stopped early, so results are limited.
