Hiprex (active ingredient: metanamin) is a prescription medication used to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults.
Unlike antibiotics that treat an active infection, Hiprex is primarily used as long-term preventive therapy for people who experience frequent or recurring UTIs.
Hiprex is used to help prevent urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria after an active infection has been treated.
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system, which includes the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra. Common symptoms of a UTI may include:
For people who experience recurrent UTIs, Hiprex helps reduce the likelihood of future infections and may decrease the need for repeated courses of antibiotics.
Hiprex belongs to a group of medications called urinary antibacterial agents.
After you take Hiprex, it is filtered into the urine, where it is converted into formaldehyde in an acidic urinary environment. Formaldehyde has antibacterial properties that help kill or stop the growth of bacteria responsible for many urinary tract infections.
By helping eliminate bacteria in the urinary tract, Hiprex:
Hiprex works only in acidic urine, so your healthcare provider may recommend dietary changes or other medications to help maintain an appropriate urine pH if needed.
It is important to know that Hiprex is not intended to treat an active urinary tract infection by itself. If you develop symptoms of a new UTI, such as fever, back pain, or painful urination, contact your healthcare provider promptly, as you may need treatment with an antibiotic.
Hiprex is available as an oral tablet that should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
The tablets are usually taken twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You may take Hiprex with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset if it occurs.
Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water. Try to take each dose at the same times every day to help maintain a consistent level of medication in your body and to help you remember your doses.
Your healthcare provider will determine the right dose based on:

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before taking Hiprex.
Your healthcare provider will carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before recommending Hiprex during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Do not start or stop this medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Hiprex may interact with certain medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Before starting Hiprex, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products you are taking. Some medications may affect how Hiprex works or increase the risk of side effects.
Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can check for potential drug interactions and determine whether any changes to your treatment are needed.
Take Hiprex exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken by mouth twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. You may take Hiprex with or without food, although taking it with food or milk may help reduce stomach upset if it occurs. Try to take each dose at the same time every day for the best results.
Hiprex may be prescribed for children 6 years of age and older when recommended by a healthcare provider. The dose is based on the child’s age and individual needs. The safety and effectiveness of Hiprex have not been established in children younger than 6 years of age.
The length of treatment depends on why you are taking Hiprex and your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Hiprex is commonly used as long-term therapy to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) rather than to treat an active infection. Continue taking the medication for as long as your healthcare provider prescribes, even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Hiprex without first consulting your healthcare provider.

Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking. They can check for potential drug interactions and determine whether Hiprex is safe to use with your other medications.
