Methenamine hippurate is an antiseptic ingredient used for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections.
MFDS ingredient code M284283
Methenamine hippurate is an active pharmaceutical ingredient used to prevent and treat urinary tract infections. This ingredient exerts an antibacterial effect within the urinary tract, inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It is primarily prescribed to patients who experience frequent urinary tract infections.
In the body, methenamine hippurate decomposes in an acidic environment to produce formaldehyde. This formaldehyde has a potent antibacterial action that eliminates bacteria in the urinary tract and prevents infections. Therefore, it helps to keep the urinary tract clean.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Methenamine hippurate is activated only within the urinary tract and does not exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity like systemic antibiotics. Its effectiveness occurs only in acidic urine, making the pH of the urinary tract important. This characteristic distinguishes it from other antibacterial agents.
