A specialized scientific meeting titled “Antibiotic Stewardship: Recent Guideline Updates on the Non-Antibiotic Management of Recurrent Cystitis” was successfully held on January 21, 2026, at the Ramada Hotel in Sulaymaniyah, in collaboration with XenoFarma and Erbozeta.
The meeting brought together urologists from across the region to address one of the most critical challenges in modern urological practice: antibiotic stewardship in the era of rising antimicrobial resistance. The scientific discussion focused on recent international guideline updates that emphasize evidence-based, non-antibiotic strategies for the prevention and management of recurrent cystitis.
Key topics included the clinical rationale for reducing unnecessary antibiotic exposure, the impact of resistance on patient safety, and the role of supportive and preventive approaches that align with contemporary stewardship principles. The session highlighted the importance of integrating guideline-driven, non-antibiotic interventions into routine urological practice to reduce recurrence rates while preserving antimicrobial efficacy.
The meeting fostered an open and interactive scientific dialogue, enabling urologists to exchange clinical experiences and discuss practical implementation of stewardship strategies in daily practice.
Through such focused educational initiatives, XenoFarma continues to support responsible antibiotic use, continuous medical education, and the advancement of evidence-based urological care across Iraq.
