  • Hiprex for UTI Prevention & Treatment | Dr. Catriona Anderson with Live UTI Free (LUF)
    Jun 9 2025

    Host Melissa Kramer interviews Dr. Catriona Anderson, a UK-based women’s health doctor and founder of a diagnostics lab focused on enhanced UTI testing. Together, they explore Hiprex—what it is, how it works, and its potential role in managing recurrent and chronic UTIs.

    Dr. Anderson breaks down the science behind this over-the-counter urinary antiseptic, explaining its dual-action mechanism, how it functions as both bactericidal and bacteriostatic, and why it stands out as a non-antibiotic option. The episode also provides practical guidance on taking Hiprex, managing side effects, and combining it safely with other therapies, such as vitamin C, D-mannose, and probiotics.

    3 Key Takeaways:

    1. Hiprex’s Dual Mechanism Makes It Unique: Hiprex activates in acidic urine and produces formaldehyde, which kills bacteria directly. It also prevents bacteria from multiplying, making it both bactericidal and bacteriostatic.


    2. Safer Long-Term Use with Careful Management: Hiprex has fewer side effects than long-term antibiotics and can be used safely for extended periods. Still, dosage and timing may need to be adjusted based on symptoms, pH level, and lifestyle factors.


    3. Better Testing is Essential: Standard urine culture often misses infections, especially in chronic cases. Dr. Anderson’s lab uses extended culture methods and more precise sample handling to uncover hidden bacteria.
