I'm always excited for new treatments for recurring UTIs, especially for catheter users.

Is this a tablet that needs to be taken daily? Does it maintain effectiveness for a longer period of time? Because if we're talking about daily medications that are preventatives for UTIs, we do have an older medication known as methenamine hippurate which is quite effective at preventing UTIs, and must be taken either once or twice daily with vitamin C, as a preventative.

I wonder what the difference is here in longevity as it is referred to as a "vaccine" tablet.

What I wonder is whether the age of the injury matters. I've heard before that these treatments will affect the newly injured over us oldies with atrophied/scarred nerves.
