HIPREX. For the suppression or elimination of urinary tract bacteria. Contains Hexamine hippurate 1g per tablet,
Hiprex is an antibacterial that suppresses and eliminates the bacteria that can cause UTIs.
When you take a Hiprex tablet, the body breaks down the active ingredient (hexamine hippurate 1g/tablet). This agent goes to work when it reaches an acidic environment, like the bladder, killing the common bacteria that cause UTIs.
Hiprex should be started after you have finished treatment of your current UTI
Frequent use of antibiotics has the potential to make bacteria resistant, so alternatives for preventing recurrent UTIs are becoming important. If you are concerned about recurring UTIs, ask us if Hiprex is suitable for you.
The good news is there is no known treatment resistance developing with continuous use of Hiprex, so it can be taken long-term.
