Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Methanamine Hippurate (Hiprex) 1g oral tablet twice daily for 6 weeks, in addition to intraoperative antibiotics (1-2g intravenous cefazolin, 500 mg cephalexin oral tablet or another if antibiotic allergies) during Botulinum toxin (Botox) injection for overactive bladder. Hiprex treatment will start the evening of the procedure. We will monitor adherence by counting the left over tablets at the 6-week postoperative visit.

Summary
Brief summary
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common postoperative complication following Botox injection in the bladder. The risk of UTI is approximately 24%. This study will see if taking a tablet of hiprex twice a day for six weeks could decrease the risk of urinary tract infection after Botox treatment. Hiprex is a medication that reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections in women with repeated urinary tract infections. We are comparing this to our current practice, where no further preventative medications are given other than the standard antibiotics during the procedure that everyone receives.
