Has anyone put Hiprex tablets into vegetable capsules?
Hi everyone, I'm an Italian woman with Fowler syndrome, so I perform intermittent self-catheterization and have recurrent UTIs. My doctor prescribed Hiprex, and it has been very helpful in reducing my infections. Unfortunately, it also causes severe stomach burning, even when I take it with food. I recently watched a video from a doctor who suggested placing the Hiprex tablet inside a vegetable capsule. Has anyone here tried this? If so: Were the capsules regular vegetable capsules or gastro-resistant (delayed-release) capsules? Did this reduce the stomach burning? Did Hiprex still work well to prevent UTIs? Hiprex isn't widely used in Italy, so my doctor isn't sure how to help me with this problem. I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you!
