Mayo-based Pamex wins national recognition for 'best women's product'

A Castlebar-based healthcare company is celebrating a major success after Utipro® Plus AF was named Best Women’s Product at the Irish Pharmacy News OTC Awards.

Notably, the awards are decided by Irish pharmacists nationwide, making this recognition especially significant as it reflects the direct endorsement of frontline healthcare professionals who work with patients every day.

Pamex, which supplies Utipro® Plus AF across Ireland, has welcomed the recognition as a significant milestone not only for the company, but for women’s health more broadly.

The award highlights innovation, effectiveness, and patient care within the pharmacy sector—areas where Utipro® Plus AF continues to make a meaningful impact.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis, are among the most common infections affecting women, with more than half experiencing at least one in their lifetime.

For many, these infections can become recurrent, leading to discomfort, disruption and repeated courses of antibiotics.

What makes Utipro® Plus AF particularly notable is its unique, antibiotic-free approach.

Unlike traditional treatments that focus solely on the bladder, it works in both the bowel and the bladder—targeting the source of many infections while also helping to relieve symptoms.

This dual-action approach supports the body in managing and preventing UTIs without contributing to the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

AMR is an increasing concern worldwide, driven in part by the overuse of antibiotics.

Solutions that reduce reliance on antibiotics, while still effectively supporting patients, are becoming ever more important in modern healthcare.

Since its introduction to the Irish market in 2021, Utipro® Plus AF has become a trusted option for women seeking an effective, evidence-based option for urinary health. Its growing recognition among healthcare professionals and patients alike reflects a shift towards more sustainable and preventative approaches to treatment.

Pamex, has expressed pride in supplying Utipro® Plus AF across Ireland, with this award serving as a testament to the strength and innovation of the product.

As awareness of UTIs and antimicrobial resistance continues to grow, solutions like Utipro® Plus AF are helping to shape a more proactive and patient-focused future for women’s health.
