How Tracfree works

Safety advice for Tracfree

Warnings and precautions

A supplement supports a normal diet; it does not prevent or treat infection. Zinc on an empty stomach commonly causes nausea — take it with food. Very high doses of vitamin A over a long period can be harmful, particularly in pregnancy. Do not take several products containing the same nutrient at once; the totals add up. This eases the symptoms; it does not treat a urinary infection. See a doctor if you have fever, back or flank pain, blood in the urine, or symptoms lasting more than a couple of days — an infection needs an antibiotic. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart failure or are on a salt-restricted diet; these preparations carry a sodium or potassium load.

Do not take Tracfree if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with significant kidney disease or a high blood potassium level, without medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines

Zinc and other minerals reduce the absorption of some antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner, as high-dose vitamin E can add to its effect. Changing the acidity of urine affects how some medicines are cleared — tell your doctor what you take.

How to store Tracfree

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Tracfree

Take it with food to reduce nausea. A varied diet remains the best source of these nutrients. Drink two to three litres of water a day unless your doctor has restricted fluids. Do not delay seeing a doctor if symptoms persist.
