Recurring UTIs and tamoxifen: What can I do?

I never had more UTI with Tamoxifen,but I have had a history with this issue for what seems like forever. I know you like non pharma solutions and I might have one you can try. I take a cranberry supplement daily. The highest amount of fruit concentrate I can find at the store. I started doing this after a particularly bad bout with a resistant UTI about 3 years ago. I certainly won’t hesitate to go get antibiotics if I need them but I haven’t needed them in 3 years and for me that has got to be a record. I do find taking it at night causes less stomach acid, but the acidic environment in the bladder is less friendly to UTI causing bacteria.
Have you ever tried the cranberry juice binge to help UTI symptoms? Have you tried any other complimentary treatments like urva ursi tea?

wall . He mentioned about UTIVA , that cranberry base.Is Urva-Ursi tea similar ?
Is it in the herbal stores?
Thank you for advice .

Chris, I went over the description for use UVA-Ursi. Would it help in prevention bladder and kidney from infection, that come from urine track if antibiotic isn’t working .
Sims this supplement for variety of more severe conditions.
