HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Urinary Care by ProBioCare
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
ProBioCare Urinary Care is a 12-ingredient capsule centered on live probiotic bacteria and plant-based prebiotics designed to support urinary tract health. The product contains five named Lactobacillus species (L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. salivarius, L. plantarum, and L. rhamnosus), three Bifidobacterium species (B. longum, B. bifidum, and B. lactis), and supporting ingredients including fructo-oligosaccharides, larch arabinogalactan, and cranberry extract.
The inactive ingredients are medium-chain triglycerides, hypromellose, cellulose, a vegetarian capsule shell, silica, vegetable stearine, and magnesium stearate.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for this product's ingredients varies. Cranberry extract is possibly effective for urinary tract infections (UTIs), which aligns with the product's purpose.
Among the probiotics, L. acidophilus and B. bifidum are each possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, and L. acidophilus is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, and Helicobacter pylori infection. However, for most other health claims associated with individual ingredients—including cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, and common cold—the evidence is insufficient to rate them reliably.
The prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides and larch arabinogalactan) similarly lack sufficient evidence for osteoporosis, constipation, diabetes, and cholesterol support.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated in healthy people. The probiotics and prebiotics can cause mild gastrointestinal effects like bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and gas—especially at higher doses or when first starting.
Cranberry is also generally well tolerated, though at very high doses (3–4 liters of juice daily) it may cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal upset. However, there are rare but serious safety concerns: probiotic bacteria can rarely translocate and cause bloodstream infections (bacteremia or sepsis) in critically ill, immune-compromised, or very young patients.
B. longum and L. acidophilus carry specific case reports of such events in vulnerable populations. For this reason, anyone who is seriously ill, immune-compromised, or a preterm infant should use only under their doctor's close supervision.
Cranberry extract in pregnancy is likely safe, but safety data for the probiotics in pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited—B. longum is rated possibly safe, while B. bifidum and L. acidophilus have no pregnancy/lactation data on file. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start ProBioCare Urinary Care, check your medications against these drug types: cytochrome P450 3A4 substrates (a large group including many heart and blood pressure drugs, cholesterol drugs, and immunosuppressants), atorvastatin specifically, nifedipine, warfarin (a blood thinner), antibiotic drugs, immunosuppressants, cytochrome P450 2C9 substrates, and diclofenac. If you take any of these, run them through the checker below.
Spacing your antibiotic doses away from this product can help, but other interactions require closer review with your pharmacist.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
ProBioCare Urinary Care is designed primarily for urinary tract health (cranberry is possibly effective for UTIs), and the probiotics offer some evidence for specific digestive and bacterial issues. However, if you take blood thinners like warfarin, statins, blood pressure medications, immunosuppressants, or antibiotics, you'll need to check your specific medications with the tool on this page first—the interactions are real and potentially significant.
Anyone who is seriously ill, immune-compromised, pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss this product with their doctor before starting.

Urinary Care by ProBioCare Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
ProBioCare Urinary Care contains several live probiotic bacteria and cranberry extract, and together they interact with a substantial number of medications.
The most serious interaction involves cranberry extract with drugs metabolized by your liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes—specifically CYP3A4 substrates (a wide group including cholesterol drugs, blood pressure medications, and many others) and CYP2C9 substrates. Cranberry can slow how your liver clears these drugs, raising their levels and side effects; the strongest evidence is for atorvastatin (a statin), nifedipine (a blood pressure drug), and warfarin (a blood thinner), where moderate interactions have been documented.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The probiotic ingredients—B. longum, B. bifidum, L. acidophilus, and L. bulgaricus—all have a moderate interaction with antibiotic drugs. Because these probiotics are live organisms, antibiotics taken at the same time may kill them and reduce their effectiveness.
This is manageable by spacing out the two, but it's important to know. Larch arabinogalactan (a prebiotic fiber in the blend) has a moderate interaction with immunosuppressant drugs used after organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions, as it may theoretically interfere with their intended effect.
Additionally, fructo-oligosaccharides (another prebiotic) has no interactions documented in our data. We could not check B. lactis, L. salivarius, L. plantarum, or the capsule materials themselves—no monograph data is on file for them.
Altogether, these interactions span 953 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drugs before starting this product.

For each ingredient in Urinary Care with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Cranberry extract
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase levels and adverse effects of atorvastatin.
In one case report, a patient taking atorvastatin experienced upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function after drinking cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, this may have been caused by inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes by cranberry juice, as atorvastatin is a CYP3A4 substrate. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Patients taking atorvastatin should avoid large quantities of cranberry juice.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
A case of upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function has been reported for a patient taking atorvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate, in combination with cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Also, animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine, a CYP3A4 substrate, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control.
Nifedipine (Procardia)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of nifedipine.
Animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine treatment, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of warfarin. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry juice on warfarin. Case reports have linked cranberry juice consumption to increases in the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients taking warfarin, resulting in severe spontaneous bleeding and excessive postoperative bleeding. Daily consumption of cranberry sauce for one week has also been linked to an increase in INR in one case report. In a small study in healthy young males, taking a high dose of 3 grams of cranberry juice concentrate capsules, equivalent to 57 grams of fruit daily, for 2 weeks produced a 30% increase in the area under the INR-time curve after a single 25-mg dose of warfarin. However, 3 very small clinical studies in patients stabilized on warfarin reported that cranberry juice 250 mL once or twice daily for 7 days (27% cranberry juice or pure cranberry juice) or 240 mL once daily for 14 days does not significantly increase INR or affect plasma warfarin levels. The reasons for these discrepant findings are unclear. It is possible that the form and dose of cranberry may play a role, as cranberry extracts and juices contain different constituents. Additionally, an in vitro study evaluating 5 different cranberry juices found varying effects, with only a cranberry concentrate, and not diluted cranberry juices, inhibiting CYP2C9. However, this concentrate did not inhibit CYP2C9 activity in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry on CYP2C9 enzymes. In vitro evidence suggests that flavonoids in cranberry inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, clinical research shows that cranberry juice does not significantly affect the levels, metabolism, or elimination of the CYP2C9 substrates flurbiprofen or diclofenac. Also, in patients stabilized on warfarin, drinking cranberry juice 250 mL daily for 7 days does not significantly increase the anticoagulant activity of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Additional pharmacokinetic research shows that cranberry juice does not increase peak plasma concentrations or area under the concentration-time curve of warfarin.
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Others)
Theoretically, cranberry might modestly increase the levels and adverse effects of diclofenac.
In vitro evidence suggests that cranberry juice inhibits diclofenac metabolism by human liver microsomes. However, drinking cranberry juice does not seem to affect diclofenac metabolism in humans.
B. longum
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Bifidobacterium longum with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. longum.
Since B. longum preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. longum preparations by at least 2 hours.
B. bifidum
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Bifidobacterium. bifidum with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. bifidum.
Since B. bifidum preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. bifidum preparations by at least 2 hours.
L. acidophilus
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.
L. bulgaricus
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus delbrueckii with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. delbrueckii.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. delbrueckii preparations by at least two hours.
Arabinogalactan
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, larch arabinogalactan might interfere with immunosuppression therapy due to immunostimulant effects. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and other drugs.
