Hiprex Dosage
Generic name: METHENAMINE HIPPURATE 1g
Dosage form: tablet
Drug class: Urinary anti-infectives
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Jan 23, 2025.
1 Tablet (1.0 g) twice daily (morning and night) for adults and pediatric patients over 12 years of age. 1/2 to 1 tablet (0.5 to 1.0 g) twice daily (morning and night) for pediatric patients 6 to 12 years of age. Since the antibacterial activity of methenamine hippurate tablets is greater in acid urine, restriction of alkalinizing foods and medications is desirable. If necessary, as indicated by urinary pH and clinical response, supplemental acidification of the urine should be instituted. The efficacy of therapy should be monitored by repeated urine cultures.
