I've been prescribed Methenamine Mandelate 1000mg tablets to treat recurring urinary tract infections. The doctor explained that it works by releasing formaldehyde in the urine to kill bacteria, but I'm a bit concerned about the potential side effects. I've read that it's important to keep your urine acidic for the medication to work effectively, which makes me think I'll have to monitor my diet carefully. Has anyone taken this medication? What was your experience like? And did you have to do anything specifically to keep your urine acidic? I'd really appreciate some insights! Thanks.
