For Urinary Tract Infection "I have suffered from UTIs for years. I have been two so many Urologists, I’m literally exhausted. Antibiotic after antibiotic, they would help me for a little while, about two to three weeks, then the infection would return, and always a different strain. This year 2023 I started on Hiprex twice daily and Vitamin C once daily. Well, we are in June, and Thank you my Physician Assistant who prescribes it for me. All the Urologists I went to, at least six, never mentioned this medication to me. It honestly works. Thank goodness I had no major side effects, apart from mild stomach problems and occasional diarrhea. I can deal with stomach discomfort. No UTI YEAH!"

For Prevention of Bladder infection "Hiprex has worked for me after I have suffered from UTI problems for over 4 years. A urologist said to use it when I feel I am starting with an infection and I use it for two weeks and it seems to stop any infection from progressing . Wish I had known about it earlier as it has made my life so much better ."

For Bladder Infection "I was given hiprex to try after reoccurring UTI’s for a year. After taking 1 at night for nearly 4 weeks I started getting burning feeling specially round the time of month when I get a flare. I was asked to stop as urologist said it wasn’t working. After 6 months and researching I gave hiprex another go with vitamin c 200mg and half of hiprex twice daily. The burning feeling went and for 2 months I was ok but recently got another flare worst lasting few hours ended up taking antibiotics. If anyone knows if it’s worth carrying on with hiprex please let me know as my gp was clueless. Thank you"

For Bladder Infection "I got Hiprex I've just started taking them after suffering from recurrent UTI's for a number of years. I take a tablet, twice a day with vitamin C. I really hope it works as the antibiotics are having a detrimental effect to my overall health, due to taking a many different meds over the years."
Are you taking this medicine?

For Bladder Infection "After having so many UTI's this last year and antibiotics not working went to see a private consultant who recommended Hiprex. I have been on it for over a month and feel that I am getting my life back. Check my urine on a strip every day and if slightly not good take d-mannose as well"

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

For Urinary Tract Infection "Please please PLEASE can UK residents tell me where and how they are obtaining Hiprex?? I used to get mine from Australia as I can’t get it over here in the UK. Please can you ladies tell me? I’m desperate and our so upsetting I can’t obtain it."

For Prevention of Bladder infection "I've been on hiprex for almost 3 years and during that time I've had multiple infections of the urinary tract and bladder. I'm meticulously clean and will not go to strange public dirty toilets. I bought supposedly non perfumed wipes but actually they had perfume and I have now a severe urinary tract infection with a temperature and feeling very ill even though I have hiprex twice a day as prescribed by the professor in a hospital."

For Prevention of Bladder infection "I have Lower Urinary Tract disease. I previously had many reoccuring UTI for many years. The urinalyasis failed to grow cultures, so it was dismissed by the medical profession and treated with antibiotics. I was prescribed Hiprex by the urinary specialist nurse .I have not had an infection since. The LUTS was very painful and stressful which I have suffered for many years."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I've taken this for 3 weeks. I've been more tired and had dry, itchy eyes. It's taken over 2 weeks, but the diarrhea has stopped. I'm hoping the tiredness does because I'm quite lifeless. I've not had a UTI yet, but sometimes feel like I could be getting one, and then the feeling settles again. So, I think this is working for the infections. I take my pH regularly, and if it's too high, I have some d-mannose with cranberry. I'm hopeful. I've had far too many antibiotics in the past which gave me thrush. This is killing the bacteria of both, so at last, I think I'm getting somewhere. I'll update if the tiredness goes."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I have had great relief from using Hiprex for recurring bladder infections. I have a Medtronic device due to a distended bladder that wasn't allowing me to empty, but the Hiprex seems to help more than the device. If I miss it, I will get an infection. I take it 2x a day. I am interested in the advice to add vitamin c and cranberry. I take both but not religiously or because of the hiprex."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I was experiencing back-to-back UTIs until being prescribed Hiprex. My only problem is I have trouble swallowing the tablet. It often gets caught in my throat. I don't have any trouble with swallowing other medication."

For Urinary Tract Infection "After menopause, I started suffering regular UTIs, which would disappear for a few days with antibiotics but would return after finishing the course. Only when I was referred to a Urologist and he prescribed Hiprex for me did I stop getting UTIs. It has made such a difference to my life, giving me the freedom to go out without fear of wetting myself."

For Urinary Tract Infection "Have has random recurring UTI's over the last 12 months, one leading to the passing of a kidney stone. Ended up in emergency and was given a strong antibiotic. That worked. This time went straight to the pharmacist and he recommended Hiprex. I took 2 a day and only slightly helped."

For Urinary Tract Infection "After 5 years of continuous urinary infections with the last 2 ending up in the hospital on iv antibiotics, my Dr put me on Hiperex. It has now been 12 months and not a sign of infection. Never had any side effects, easy to take morning and night. I get it on a prescription, but you can buy it over the counter."
