Urine alkalinization for bladder infections in women
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether making your urine less acidic (with a simple medicine called potassium citrate) helps treat bladder infections in women. If you are eligible, you would take the medicine to possibly help your body clear the infection and reduce symptoms.

- You are a woman between 18 and 50 years old
