Hi Corie,

 

Description -- Methenamine (Systemic)

Methenamine (meth-EN-a-meen) belongs to the family of medicines called anti-infectives. It is used to help prevent and treat infections of the urinary tract. Methenamine is available only with your doctor's prescription, in oral dosage form.

What is Mandelamine?  I'm not sure if the bug is e-coli because I haven't had it tested by my urologist, but I do know that d-mannose won't work if it's not e-coli.

Thanks, Corie

If your problem is e-coli, d-mannose may work. I'm not a proponent of indwelling catheters but since that is what you are dealing with, I'd suggest you make your bladder inhospitable to any bacteria. High doses of vitamin C can make your urine acidic. If you take Mandelamine with vitamin C, you may avoid most infections. The trick is to drink like a fish and check your urine ph level.

 

hope that helps

P.S.you need a script for the mandelamine
