Indications

  • Methenamine is used to prevent or control recurring urinary tract infections caused by specific bacteria.
  • It is not intended for treating active infections; antibiotics should be used first for infection treatment and cure.
  • Methenamine inhibits bacteria growth in urine and includes an ingredient to acidify urine.
  • Acidic urine causes methenamine to convert into formaldehyde, which eliminates bacteria.
  • The drug is effective solely against bacterial infections in the urinary tract.
  • It does not work for other bacterial infections (e.g., in the blood) or viral infections (e.g., common cold or flu).
  • Misuse of antibacterial drugs, including methenamine, can reduce their effectiveness.

Dosage and administration

  • Take the medication orally as directed by your doctor.
  • Dosage depends on the prescribed brand of methenamine, your medical condition, and your treatment response.
  • For children, dosage is determined by age and weight.
  • Methenamine is more effective with acidic urine; your doctor may test and recommend ways to increase urine acidity.
  • Methods to boost urine acidity may include taking vitamin C, drinking cranberry juice, and limiting certain foods/medications.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions and refer to the Drug Interactions section.
  • Take the drug at regular intervals for optimal effectiveness; establish a consistent daily schedule.
  • Inform your doctor if urinary tract infection symptoms reoccur (e.g., burning/painful/frequent urination).

Side effects

  • Possible side effects of methenamine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and loss of appetite.
  • If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
  • Painful or difficult urination may occur less frequently; report such side effects to your doctor.
  • Your doctor may adjust your methenamine dose or alter treatment if urinary issues arise.
  • The prescribed medication is based on the doctor’s assessment of benefits outweighing potential side effects.
  • Many users experience this medication without serious side effects.
  • Exceeding recommended doses may lead to bladder irritation, painful/frequent urination, and bloody/pink urine; inform your doctor immediately if such symptoms occur.
  • Report promptly any serious side effects, such as mouth sores, unusual headache, ringing in the ears, muscle cramps, or swelling of the arms/legs.
  • Although rare, a severe allergic reaction may occur; seek medical help if symptoms like rash, itching/swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing arise.
  • The provided information does not cover all potential side effects; contact your doctor or pharmacist if you observe other effects not mentioned.

Precautions

  • Inform your doctor or pharmacist about any allergies to methenamine, formaldehyde, or other substances before taking the medication.
  • Check with your pharmacist for information on potential allergic reactions due to inactive ingredients in the product.
  • Prior to using methenamine, disclose your medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have kidney problems, liver problems, or a history of dehydration.
  • Before undergoing surgery, inform your doctor or dentist about all the products you are using, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.
  • Use this medication during pregnancy only if necessary; discuss potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
  • Methenamine passes into breast milk, and its impact on nursing infants is unknown; consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
