Cranberry juice helps neutralize the acidic properties of the urine when a urinary track infection (UTI) is present. It helps with the pain that often accompanies the UTI. There are also over the counter (OTC) products, such as AZO, that will do the same thing. If you suspect a UTI, you should have it confirmed by your doctor, who will most likely prescribe an antibiotic for you to take. Otherwise, you might be able to manage the pain, but the bacteria that caused the UTI is still present. Whether or not you do any of the above, you should DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

Plain old cranberry - not the drink the actual juice. No artificial sweeteners or anything. Also, you can buy the pain killing pills (azo) that work really fast to help get rid of the symptoms but turn your urine to orange However, you should get a urine test done at the docs to make sure you need antibiotics. Sometimes a vaginal yeast infection can give you symptoms of a UTI.

Cranberry is the best. There are over the counter medications that you can take.

Oh my gosh I had that before...it's a nightmare. Just tell your friend to use anything with cranberry. As long as it has crannberry it works.
