FAQs
- How does GennaMD work?
The Mechanism of Action (MOA) of GennaMD is the binding process to the p-fimbriae and Type 1 Pili of bacteria. The active ingredient in GennaMD, bioPAC™, prevents bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract. This is measured by Anti-Adhesion Activity (AAA), a measurement that verifies the amount or quality of that action found in the supplement.
- Does GennaMD only prevent UTIs caused by E. coli?
No, GennaMD will help prevent the adherence of any UTI-causing bacteria that exhibit P-fimbriae.
- What makes GennaMD different than other 36 mg PAC products?
The proven medical grade formula of GennaMD sets it apart. GennaMD contains 36 mg of soluble Type-A PACDMAC/A2 sourced from pure cranberry juice concentrate, allowing for maximum bioactivity and the highest level of AAA. Other products are made from whole fruit or press cake (skins/seed/stems), which have insoluble PAC creating minimal bioavailability and AAA.
GennaMD also contains 30% PAC concentration, the highest available, far exceeding the <1% to 18% found in other products.
- What is the dosing for GennaMD?
Patients should take 1 capsule of GennaMD once daily with water at about the same time each day. They may take GennaMD with or without food. For times when patients are at increased risk or have symptoms that indicate they’re developing a UTI, they should take 2 capsules at the same time daily for 2 days, then return to their regular once-a-day routine.
For patients suffering from postcoital UTIs, they should take 2 capsules of GennaMD before or immediately after sex and then 2 the following day (4 capsules total).
- How long does my patient need to be taking GennaMD before they notice the benefits?
GennaMD begins working within hours of taking a single capsule. It’s important to take GennaMD at about the same time every day as it works on a 24-hour protection cycle.
- Should GennaMD be taken with antibiotics?
Daily antibiotics should be prescribed to treat an active infection. Your patients can take GennaMD with the antibiotic until the infection clears and then continue taking GennaMD once daily to continuously flush out bacteria that could lead to another UTI.
- What is the cost of GennaMD?
The average cost of GennaMD is $46.00 a month. Depending on the subscription your patient chooses, they can expect to save an additional 20%.
- Do you offer any discounts for my patients?

- Does GennaMD interact with Warfarin?
No conclusive contraindications have been reported between GennaMD and Warfarin.
The vitamin K content of cranberry, like that of many other foods, has been suspected to inhibit the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of Warfarin. This inhibition could increase Warfarin levels in the blood.
Through the manufacturing process of GennaMD the majority of vitamin K is left behind and therefore should not interact with Warfarin.
- Does GennaMD have side effects?
GennaMD is naturally sourced and has no known side effects. Of course, if a patient is allergic to the ingredients found in GennaMD or has a red-fruit allergy, this should be taken into consideration.
