methenamine and Pyuria

methenamine has been researched along with Pyuria in 5 studies

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.

Pyuria: The presence of white blood cells (LEUKOCYTES) in the urine. It is often associated with bacterial infections of the urinary tract. Pyuria without BACTERIURIA can be caused by TUBERCULOSIS, stones, or cancer.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To study the effects of continous low doses of antibacterial agents after eradication of bacteriuria in patients with recurrent urinary tract infection, 31 patients with documented recurrent urinary tract infection were allocated alternately to treatment with either co-trimoxazole (400 mg of suphamethoxazole and 80 mg of trimethoprim each night) or methenamine hippurate (1 g each night)."7.65Controlled trial comparing co-trimoxazole and methenamine hippurate in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections. ( Friedman, A; Kalowski, S; Kincaid-Smith, P; Nanra, RS; Radford, N; Standish, H, 1975)
