Drug Details

Me NaPhos MB Hyo 1 is a prescription medication designed to alleviate discomfort associated with urinary tract issues, such as bladder infections and muscle spasms. Each tablet combines four active ingredients: methenamine (81.6 mg), monobasic sodium phosphate (40.8 mg), methylene blue (10.8 mg), and hyoscyamine sulfate (0.12 mg). Methenamine works by releasing formaldehyde in acidic urine, which helps eliminate bacteria. Monobasic sodium phosphate maintains the urine's acidity, enhancing methenamine's effectiveness. Methylene blue has mild antiseptic properties, and hyoscyamine sulfate relaxes bladder muscles to reduce spasms. The usual adult dosage is one tablet taken orally four times daily, accompanied by plenty of fluids. Common side effects may include dry mouth, nausea, and a change in urine color to blue or green due to methylene blue. It's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting this medication, especially if you have conditions like glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, or heart problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication only if clearly needed, as some ingredients can cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk.
