Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this combination. Hyoscyamine and methenamine cross the placenta. Information related to the oral use of methylene blue in pregnancy is limited (Heinonen 1977).
Hyoscyamine and methenamine can be detected in breast milk. The manufacturer recommends that caution be used if administered to a nursing woman.
Foods/diets which alkalinize urine pH >5.5 decrease activity of methenamine.
Urinary tract symptoms
Hyoscyamine: Hyoscyamine is a parasympatholytic that relaxes smooth muscles, producing an antispasmodic effect.
Methenamine: Methenamine is hydrolyzed in acidic urine to produce formaldehyde, which provides local bactericidal or bacteriostatic action.
Methylene blue: Methylene blue has weak antiseptic properties.
Sodium phosphate monobasic: Sodium phosphate monobasic maintains an acid pH in the urine, necessary for the degradation of methenamine.
