When and how often to take D Mannose?

[qqq82]

Can any fellow uti suffers please advise how much / when they take this to get the best results? Thanks

I take four tablets in one go every few hours during cysistis

For maintenance I take a couple a day

My doctor said 2gr for maintenance and 4 gr when you start with an infection

Thanks
Do you still need antibiotics when you get the infection though ?
