INTRODUCTION

Crantop Tablet is a non-antimicrobial agent which helps in promoting urinary tract health and may help in reducing the frequency of urinary tract infection. It contains Cranberry and D-Mannose as active ingredients which inhibit the causative bacteria to affect the urinary tract.

Cranberry extract and D-mannose prevents the urinary tract infection (UTI) by binding to the fimbria (tiny hair like projections) of the E. coli bacteria which is the major cause for UTI. Thereby it prevents the attachment of the bacteria to the surface of urinary tract.
