Summary

The main questions it aims to answer are: Does urinary alkalinization reduce UTI symptom scores by Day 7? Does it lead to better urine culture results compared to antibiotic? Researchers will compare urinary alkalinization with potassium citrate to antibiotic to see if it provides more symptom relief and better microbiological outcomes. Participants will: Take either potassium citrate or antibiotic Be assessed for symptoms and adverse events on Day 7 Provide a urine sample for culture before and after treatment Report any return visits due to worsening symptoms or medication side effects
