Methenamine: An anti-infective agent most commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Its anti-infective action derives from the slow release of formaldehyde by hydrolysis at acidic pH. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p173)
hexamethylenetetramine : A polycyclic cage that is adamantane in which the carbon atoms at positions 1, 3, 5 and 7 are replaced by nitrogen atoms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine whether accurate quantification of Pneumocystis carinii cysts in sputum is possible using currently available means and to determine the optimal stain for screening sputum for P carinii, we undertook a comparative evaluation of readily available stains: (1) Diff-Quik, a stain that provides tinctorial detail comparable with Giemsa, (2) toluidine blue, and (3) silver methenamine on simultaneously thawed sputum samples containing P carinii."3.67Pneumocystis carinii in sputum. Comparable efficacy of screening stains and determination of cyst density. ( Blumenfeld, W; Griffiss, JM, 1988)
