Hiprex is a medicine with a proven effectiveness for treatment and prevention of recurrent lower urinary tract (bladder) infections. The infection can cause inflammation of the bladder known as Cystitis.

Cystitis is more common in women because the tube that carries urine from bladder out of the body (urethra) is much shorter than men's. Due to the symptoms including the need to pass water (pee) more frequently and with urgency, cystitis is also commonly referred to as 'Water Infection'.

The bacterial infection causes an acidic environment in the bladder and Hiprex works by the formation of formaldehydes in bladder that results in killing the bacteria and providing relief from cystitis.
