Urease Inhibitors

Urease inhibitors are used to treat kidney stones and urinary tract infections. They work by dissolving kidney stones and helping antibiotics absorb better.

Why are urease inhibitors prescribed?

  1. Kidney Stones (50%)
  2. Urinary Tract Infection (50%)

Key takeaways

Urease inhibitors are used to treat urinary tract infections. Urease inhibitors work by blocking the enzyme urease, which helps reduce the production of ammonia and makes the environment less favorable for bacteria. These medications are typically available in oral form. An example of a urease inhibitor is acetohydroxamic acid (Lithostat). You can take these medications as prescribed to help manage your condition effectively.
