Uva ursi works as an antimicrobial and has been shown to act against E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and 70 other urinary tract bacteria. It is believed the antimicrobial action is due to arbutin and hydroquinone, constituents of Uva ursi.
How long can you take uva ursi?
Experts recommend avoiding taking the herb for longer than two weeks (conservative sources recommend limiting the duration of uva ursi to no more than five days) and no more than five times a year. Never take more than the recommended dose or take uva ursi for longer than the prescribed duration.

Available research suggests uva ursi is relatively safe at daily doses of 200–840 mg of hydroquinone derivatives calculated as anhydrous arbutin.
