Methenamine hippurate for preventing urinary tract infections. [2012]
CONCLUSIONS: Methenamine hippurate may be effective for preventing UTI
Methenamine hippurate for preventing urinary tract infections. [2007.10.17]
CONCLUSIONS: Methenamine hippurate may be effective for preventing UTI in patients without renal tract abnormalities, particularly when used for short-term prophylaxis. It does not appear to work in patients with neuropathic bladder or in patients who have renal tract abnormalities. The rate of adverse events was low, but poorly described.There is a need for further large well-conducted RCTs to clarify this question, particularly for longer term use for people without neuropathic bladder.
Clinical Trials Related to Methenamine Hippurate (Methenamine)
Efficacy Study of Acriflavine Hydrochloride + Methenamine + Methylthioninium Chloride vs Placebo for the Rapid Relief of Symptoms Urinary Tract Infection [Not yet recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of Acriflavine
hydrochloride + Methenamine + Methylthioninium chloride produced by EMS S/A, using the
comparator Placebo, the rapid relief of symptoms in uncomplicated lower urinary tract
infection in women.
Probiotics as a Prophylactic Aid in Women With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's) [Recruiting]
To investigate if administration of probiotics, either orally or vaginally,
- Can reduce the number of episodes of acute bacterial cystitis and/or
- Has tolerable adverse effect profile
- Improves general QoL in these women
- Improves the immune function and other physiological stress markers
- Reduces inflammation in urinary bladder epithelium
Probiotics for Girls With Recurring Urinary Tract Infections [Not yet recruiting]
Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacterial strains such
as Lactobacillus. The safety of oral administration of probiotics has been demonstrated in
hundreds of studies using adults over the last 30 years. Very few studies have been
conducted with children. UTI in girls occur when virulent bacteria migrate from the rectum
and colonize the vagina and peri-urethral mucosa, thus gaining access to the bladder.
This study will randomize girls to ARM A (probiotics + placebo) and ARM B (antibiotics +
placebo) to determine if UTIs are decreased when the probiotics are given.
Probiotics in Girls With Spina Bifida [Not yet recruiting]
Girls with spina bifida also have bladder problems. This is because they need temporary
placement of a tube into the bladder to remove urine. This thin flexible tube is called a
catheter. It can increase the risk of having bacteria in the urine. This in turn can lead to
urinary tract infection (UTI).
Some girls with spina bifida are given antibiotics. These are medicines used to treat
infections caused by bacteria. The medicine is used to prevent UTI. However, long-term
treatment with these medicines can have side effects. For example, the bacteria may become
resistant to the antibiotics. Also, bacteria in the urine can persist. UTI can still occur
in patients on antibiotics.
UTI in girls occurs because bacteria migrate from the rectum to the vagina area. This gives
the bacteria access to the bladder. Also, in girls with spina bifida, the access to the
bladder is easier because of the catheter.
Probiotics are friendly bacteria. They are available as dietary supplements and as food.
They contain helpful bacteria. Yogurt is an example of a food that contains probiotics.
The purpose of this study is to find out, if probiotics taken for 6 months can prevent UTI
in girls with spina bifida. We will also try to find out whether changes in urine bacteria
are associated with the taking of the probiotics. A vaginal and rectal swab will also be
done to find out if taking probiotics has any benefits on preventing bacteria.
