Getting to Know…Your Bladder
If you have had issues with urinary tract infections in the past, you will be happy to know about Cystex, the first and only over-the-counter (OTC) medication designed to help control the pain and progression of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
You will want to remember this the next time you are desperate to stop the burning!
Cystex® Urinary Pain Relief Tablets combine a pain reliever for temporary relief of the burning and discomfort of urinary tract infections (UTIs), along with an antibacterial agent that helps stop the progression of the infection while you wait to see a doctor (UTIs require prescription antibiotics to completely cure the infection; see your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and prescription medication).
Cystex has an interactive website at www.cystex.com that includes accessible information such as an interactive “Ask the Urologist” feature and a “Know Your Bladder Better” Video Series; and they even have a blog.
Now obviously this information is helpful, but it has to be said that the Cystex Web site is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a personal medical diagnosis or formal medical advice. If you have any health questions or concerns, we recommend that you seek medical advice from your physician.
Don’t be performing home surgeries on yourself like some kind of internal medicine MD version of MacGyver!
Thankfully, I haven’t had the need to put my sample of Cystex to the test, but I am glad to have it in my medicine chest for when the need arises.
Cystex retails for $9.25 for a package of 40 tablets and $15.95 for a 100-count package. You can purchase online at www.cystex.com, www.drugstore.com and other online retailers.
1.) To enter to win a 40-count box of Cystex Urinary Pain Relief Tablets, retail value $9.25, leave a comment here telling me you need it!(You may enter once a day - subsequent entries don’t require you to answer the question).
Please don’t just comment with “Enter me” or “Sounds great”. That totally annoys me. Those entries are not eligible to win.
One winner will be chosen at random.
This giveaway is open to those with a US mailing address.
*Congrats to Sarah (#31!)

Ummm, yes, I’ll take a case of this,please! I have been to countless doctors, run a million tests, and still get UTIs. I’ve tried everything!
13 May 2009, 11:05 am
Oh, yeah..let me in on this too! I drink cranberry juice at the first sign, which I think helps, but I still would like to have this in the medicine cabinet. I mean, when you need it, you need it now! Thanks!

Boy do I ever need this. I have suffered from UTIs for over 30 years and it is so painful and sometimes difficult to get to a doctor right away. I have mixed success with doctors and a diagnosis anyway but have found these to offer relief quickly.
