Vitamin C and Hiprex for repeat urinary tract infections
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C together with a medicine called Hiprex (methenamine hippurate) helps prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. If you are eligible, you would take these two treatments and track your urine acidity using emailed results to see how well they work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman aged 18 or older.

This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
This Phase 2 trial tests LBP-EC01 to treat a bladder infection (UTI) caused by drug-resistant E. coli. It may help by targeting the specific bacteria that make UTIs harder to cure with common antibiotics.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (bladder infections) in women. If you've had several bladder infections, this treatment might reduce how often they come back.
This trial compares a longer, higher-dose antibiotic course combined with methenamine hippurate (a urinary antiseptic) against standard care (low-dose antibiotics or methenamine alone) for women with chronic urinary tract infections. It aims to see if the extended treatment is more effective at relieving persistent symptoms.
This trial tests a therapy (called GAG therapy) to prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compares how similar the results are to a well-known antibiotic standard (nitrofurantoin) to see if it works reliably.
