Urinary Tract Infections Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Crano-cure inTreatment of Urinary Tract Infection

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The main objectives of the study are; to determine the efficacy of test drug Crano-cure for the treatment of urinary tract infection, to compare the effectiveness of Polyherbal formulation Crano-cure vs. Standard allopathic. Antibacterial/ antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin 500 mg) in treatment of UTI, to assess the safety of trial drug.

Research literatures have revealed that Tribulus terrestris (Gokhro), Vaccinium macrocarpon (karonda), Cuminum cyminum (Zeera sufaid), Rheum emodi (Revand chini) and Piper cubeba (Kabab chini) are important therapeutic plants. Many pharmacological researches have been done on these plants. For instance, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anticancer etc. In the above claims and facts, the study is conducted to formulate and evaluate the polyherbal capsule and to find out the most effective combination having anti-bacterial activity.

Clinical Trial Description

It is not life-threatening disease. Different antibacterial/ antibiotics are available such as Co-trimaxazole, amoxicillin, nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole and quinolone antibiotics is taken as a choice for the treatment of UTI [3]. The antibacterial agents/ antibiotic available but they are limited in number, have adverse effects, resistance of bacteria to these agents and relapse of the UTI. In order to overcome the problem of less availability of drugs needed to treat urinary tract infection, with traditional medicine derived from medicinal plants. This encouraged the search for new and dynamic antibacterial agents from plant sources. ;
