    Urinary tract infections are common in menopausal women, so it is important to control or prevent the recurrence of UTIs. One way to prevent UTIs is to take an antibacterial such as Cystex®  as it is the only over-the-counter urinary tract medication that contains methenamine, an antibacterial agent that attacks bacteria and helps prevent it from adhering to the cell wall lining of the bladder, as well as a pain reliever. Cystex® can be taken before activities or situations that you believe have contributed to urinary tract infections, such as sexual intercourse. If you develop a UTI, taking Cystex® until you see your doctor will help keep the infection from progressing and also help with the pain. To learn more about urinary tract infections, visit www.cystex.com.
