Hiprex 100 Tablets – Urinary Tract Infection Support

Hiprex 100 Tablets are a pharmaceutical-grade medication used to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). Containing the active ingredient Methenamine Hippurate, Hiprex works by producing formaldehyde in the urine, creating an environment that inhibits the growth of bacteria responsible for infections.

Hiprex is commonly prescribed as a long-term prophylactic treatment for recurrent UTIs, especially in patients prone to frequent infections or those with compromised urinary tract function.
