A member asked:
Is hiprex an antibiotic and is it safe long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and likely: Hiprex is an antibiotic that treats infections of the urinary tract but may also be used long-term to prevent them from coming back. The information available is a little more limited for this drug, possibly because it’s older, but what information is there suggests that it is a largely safe medication.
