Description
HIPREX® 1g 20 Tabs
Description
HIPREX® 1g tablets contain hexamine hippurate, a urinary antibacterial agent used to help suppress or eliminate bacteria in the urinary tract that can cause chronic or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
It works most effectively when the urine is slightly acidic, helping to maintain a low urinary pH and reduce bacterial growth as part of long‑term prevention or maintenance therapy.
HIPREX is commonly used in individuals with frequent UTIs or where long‑term suppression is indicated.
