Overview

Canephron-N is a phytotherapeutic (herbal) medicine developed by Bionorica. It is a standardized combination of three active herbal ingredients: common centaury (Centaurium erythraea), lovage root (Levisticum officinale), and rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis). It is approved and widely used for the supportive treatment and prevention of inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract, such as acute and chronic cystitis, pyelonephritis, and for the prevention of urinary stones (urolithiasis). Canephron-N exhibits multi-target pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, diuretic, anti-adhesive, and anti-nociceptive effects. In clinical trials, it has demonstrated non-inferiority to standard antibiotic therapy (such as fosfomycin) in treating acute lower uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs), helping to reduce antibiotic use and support antimicrobial stewardship.
