NCT ID NCT06885658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a visual storytelling sticker on antibiotic packaging helps adults with urinary tract infections (UTIs) take all their medicine. 358 adults in Pakistan were randomly assigned to get either the sticker or usual care. The goal was to see if the sticker improves adherence and reduces antibiotic resistance.
