Huena Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). It belongs to the class of urinary antiseptics. Unlike antibiotics, it does not kill bacteria directly; instead, it works by releasing formaldehyde in acidic urine, which has antibacterial activity. This mechanism makes Huena Tablet hippurate effective in preventing the growth of many urinary pathogens, while reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance. It is usually prescribed for long-term prophylaxis in patients with recurrent UTIs, including women, older adults, and those with structural urinary tract problems. The medicine is available in oral tablet form, making it convenient for daily use. However, it requires the urine to remain acidic for effectiveness. Patients may be advised to avoid certain alkalinising foods or medicines and to take additional agents (like vitamin C) to maintain urine acidity.
