Hiprex Information:

Buy Hiprex

Hiprex (generic name-Methenamine Hippurate) is often used as a prophylactic treatment to prevent recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients prone to it. It is also combined with other antibiotics to treat more severe or complicated urinary tract infections. Hiprex contains Methenamine Hippurate as its active ingredient. Methenamine belongs to a group of antibiotic medications called urinary tract antiseptics. Methenamine is converted into formaldehyde in the acidic environment of the urinary tract. Formaldehyde has antibacterial properties and can kill many types of bacteria, including those that cause UTIs. The hippuric acid in Hiprex helps to make the urine more acidic, which helps Methenamine to work better.

It may be crushed and mixed with milk or fruit juice for easy ingestion. The half-life of Hiprex is typically around 2-4 hours. This means that after 2-4 hours, approximately half of the original dose of Hiprex will have been eliminated from the body.

Do not use more than the prescribed dose to compensate for a missed dose. Store this medication at room temperature and keep it away from sunlight and moisture and out of children's reach.
