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."

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."
