Are you experiencing pain and burning while urinating? Are you urinating more than usual but only expelling a small amount? Do you feel a sense of urgency, as if you cannot hold in your urine? Perhaps you have lower abdominal pain, fever and flank pain. If any of these symptoms apply to you, you may have a urinary tract infection, commonly referred to as a UTI. A UTI is a bacterial infection that affects the kidneys, bladder, ureters or urethra. If you suspect this condition, make an appointment with your doctor. If you are diagnosed with a UTI, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic, and also give you a prescription to buy Mandelamine or generic Methenamine Mandelate. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
Mandelamine is an anti-infective medication that can be given to patients to prevent/control a urinary tract infection. It will not treat an existing UTI. If you do have a UTI, you will likely be prescribed an antibiotic medication.
Methenamine Mandelate, the active ingredient in Mandelamine hinders bacterial growth in your urine. In addition, Mandelamine will make your urine acidic. When this occurs, the medication will convert into formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde will kill the existing bacteria in your urine.
You should familiarize yourself with the possible side effects associated with taking Mandelamine which include nausea, stomach upset, reduced appetite, and a skin rash.
