For Urinary Tract Infection "Amazing product! I've suffered from urinary tract infections for years and have been on antibiotic after antibiotic, and they always returned. I tried cranberry tablets and various vitamins, which gave me very little relief from symptoms. You need to take the recommended two tablets a day for it to work properly. The only downside is the taste of the tablets, but I haven't experienced any other negative side effects."

For Prevention of Bladder infection "Retention of urine was creating a reservoir for bacteria to flourish and was the cause of the repeated UTIs over several years. I had a urethra dilation, which has led to better flow and more complete bladder emptying. I also take Hiprex once a day and have not had an infection for nearly a year. Bliss. The tablet itself tastes awful, but a small price to pay."

For Prevention of Bladder infection "I have been on Hiprex for 2 years and only had 1 UT as opposed to a UTI every few months. My Dr. prescribed it twice a day, morning and night, with a cranberry supplement pill and 500 mg vitamin C tablet. It does taste terrible, but better than the alternative."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I had a repetitive UTI for years. But after my doctor prescribed Hiprex, it helped a lot. It has a bit of a salty taste, but it's not a big deal, and for some reason, I can only take half of the dose. Overall, it's a good medicine."

For Prevention of Bladder infection "I was suffering from regular severe urinary tract infections, taking multiple courses of antibiotics each time, only to feel relief for a few weeks before getting another infection, despite drinking 2 liters of water per day, taking cranberry supplements, and washing and urinating before and after sex. Since taking Hiprex, I have not had an infection in several months. The only negative is that the tablets taste awful."
