A total of 26 patients were treated with Uro-Vaxom(R)orally once-daily for 3 months and observed for further 3 months. The results obtained were as follows: 1. During the 6 months of the trial, the frequency of recurrences of UTI decreased in comparison with that of pretrial period. (on the average 1.15 as compared to 3.08 recurrences) 2. The improvement of dysuria and frequency was noted in 80% and 75%, respectively. 3. The side effects were mentioned in 2 cases: one with hunger pain and nausea, the other with pruritus.
