Methenamine Mandelate Tablets Medication Description
Methenamine tablets are designed for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections, particularly in patients who experience frequent episodes. Unlike antibiotics, methenamine does not directly kill bacteria through systemic action; instead, it relies on the chemical conversion to formaldehyde in acidic urine. This localized antiseptic effect helps maintain a sterile urinary environment and reduces the risk of infection without contributing to antibiotic resistance. Because methenamine requires an acidic environment to work, patients may be advised to take urinary acidifiers such as vitamin C or cranberry supplements. It is typically used as part of a long-term prevention strategy for individuals who cannot tolerate continuous antibiotic therapy or who are at high risk for recurrent infections. Regular monitoring of urinary pH and kidney function is recommended to ensure effectiveness and safety. Methenamine is not suitable for treating active infections and should always be combined with other measures like hydration and good urinary hygiene. -
Methenamine Mandelate Tablets Side Effects
Common side effects include mild stomach upset, nausea, and bladder irritation. Serious risks are rare but may include painful urination, rash, or signs of allergic reaction. In patients with kidney problems, methenamine can increase the risk of crystals forming in the urine. Anyone experiencing severe pain, blood in the urine, or persistent discomfort should contact a healthcare provider immediately. Using the medication exactly as prescribed and maintaining adequate hydration helps reduce these risks. -
