Methenamine after Botox for bladder control
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a medication called methenamine hippurate (a pill for preventing UTIs) after Botox bladder injections can help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. It may be a good option for women and non-binary people with overactive bladder who are already getting Botox treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the bacteria in the bladders of women with overactive bladder who are getting Botox injections. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect treatment results.
This study compares a non-antibiotic medicine (methenamine) to antibiotics for preventing urinary tract infections after a common incontinence surgery (mid-urethral sling). It may help people avoid antibiotics and their side effects.
This study looks at whether taking antibiotics shortly before bladder Botox injections affects outcomes for people with overactive bladder. It aims to clarify what to do about antibiotic use before treatment.
This study tests whether taking a low-dose antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) before a Botox bladder injection can help prevent urinary tract infections. You may be able to join if you are getting Botox for overactive bladder or painful bladder syndrome and do not have frequent UTIs or other health issues that would make the antibiotic unsafe.
This trial studies whether taking an antibiotic around the time of bladder Botox can lower the risk of urinary infections. It’s for women with overactive bladder who tried standard medicines but didn’t get enough relief.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) around the time of bladder Botox can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in people whose bladder problems are caused by nerve conditions. It may help lower the chance of infection after treatment.
