    Product Description

    Methenamine hippurate is a broad-spectrum urinary antiseptic agent.1 Under acidic conditions, methenamine hippurate is hydrolyzed to formaldehyde and ammonia, which exerts an antibacterial effect. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria but lacks activity against Proteus and other bacteria that increase urine alkalinity. Formulations containing methenamine hippurate have been used to treat urinary tract infections.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
