After fist chemo treatment for breast cancer I had UTI and it reoccurred 11 times since in 7 months. Put on Hiprex no problem since. What a relief to be free of UTI. One less problem. I take vit C with it but my body is very acid maybe from chemo and radiation?

I have been plagued with UTI's since I was fourteen. I do exactly everything that a doctor would recommend to prevent UTI's, and still I have gone through five different kinds of antibiotics in three years because the bacteria had become so resistant after each infection. It was absolutely infuriating and very, very inconvenient. After a particularly bad spell with seven UTI's in five months (for absolutely no reason as I wasn't even sexually active at the time!) I decided to start Hiprex twice daily. I have been taking it for three months now and the difference is unbelievable. While still taking precautions such as wearing cotton underwear, wiping front to back, and avoiding tights or restrictive clothing, I've been UTI-free pretty much since I started. I recommend taking the tablets with a glass or cordial or juice as the tablet's aftertaste is definitely not pleasant. Out of habit now my fluid intake is about six to eight glasses each day to supplement the Hiprex and I take probiotic supplements every second or third day to encourage healthier bacteria growth. All in all, this product has definitely helped!

Comment:
I had a long history of frequent UTI's after a Bladder lift with mesh which started 4 yrs of problems and surgeries I was prescribed Hiprex and I had immediate reduction of UTI's. In 4 yrs I have only 2 confirmed infections. It is important to let Labs and doctors know you are taking HIP prior to testing for UTI since you can get a false negative result while on this drug.

There was no mention of problems for formaldehyde sensitive patients in the printed instructions provided with the prescription. Developed severe burning on urination-thought another urinary tract infection. Urine culture negative. Personal online search disclosed the problems for formaldehyde sensitive persons. Much better once Hiprex stopped.
