Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

Red bull contains caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone, B-group vitamins, sucrose, and glucose.
None of these ingredients or the liquid content has any correlation with uti or kidney infections.

I did not understand the second part of your questions.
Did you ask about other forms of relief for UTI.?

Drink of fluids, proper hygeine and antibiotics when symptoms present are some of the ways to overcome UTI.

Hope this answers your query.
Please get back if you need any further information.

Sincerely,

Dr Kiran
