🎯 Interesting recurrent UTI study with intriguing results:

Methenamine (Hiprex):

- Starting 👉 ⤵️ frequency of rUTIs in older women
-Stopping 👉 ⤴️ risk of UTI relapses

Many questions:
- mechanism?
- change symptom perception?
- rebound seen also in other Rx?

Methenamine hippurate as prophylaxis for recurrent urinary tract infections in older women – a triple-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase IV trial (ImpresU).

To investigate the preventive effect of the antiseptic methenamine hippurate on recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) in older women.

New RCT in @cmijournal.bsky.social for #UTISky:

Methenamine vs placebo for recurrent UTI PPx (n=281)

Methenamine ⬇️ antibiotic tx for UTI: IRR 0.75 (95% CI 0.57-1.0, p= 0.049)

But methenamine group had ⬆️ abx use in 6m follow-up after dc'ing
