Urispas Reviews: What are patients saying about Urispas?
5Patient Review
1/3/2022 Since I was a baby, I've suffered from water infections. On a trip to India, I went to the doctor again for another infection. He took a urine sample and it tested positive for antibiotics. He prescribed me Urispas and, for three years now, I haven't had a single infection. They've changed my life--I'm 100% better.
5Patient Review
9/2/2021 This has been a total game-changer for me. I was given this while I was in India and it really helped me out of a tough spot. I had been struggling with what I later found out were recurring UTIs, and the antibiotics just weren't cutting it anymore. This treatment allowed me to go week after week without any pain or discomfort, and I'm so grateful for that.
5Patient Review
5/24/2010 This medication has been such a relief! I've suffered from bladder infections my whole life, and this is the first time I've found something that actually helps. The only downside is that if I take it too close together or on an empty stomach, I get a little nauseous.
3.3Patient Review
6/22/2021 This medication only provides temporary relief while it is active in your system. I was recommended this by a pharmacist when I told her about my UTI. The mornings are still the hardest, but once the medication kicks in I can finally empty my bladder. Unfortunately, even after finishing the dosage, the UTI symptoms persist.
2.7Patient Review
7/14/2013 I have interstitial cystitis and could not afford the other medication, Uribel. So, I decided to give this a try instead. Unfortunately, I felt very shaky and drowsy after taking it. Will not take this again!
2.3Patient Review
4/7/2014 I've been taking the medication as prescribed, but I haven't noticed any difference in my frequent urination.
1Patient Review
8/23/2022 I took antibiotics and probiotics to fight an infection, then I started taking urispas. Unfortunately, even after six days of use, there was no change.
