The human body naturally produces and metabolizes formaldehyde, containing 50 to 70 times more than the amount found in a single vaccine [1.3.7, 1.5.2]. This article explores which medications contain formaldehyde and clarifies its role and safety in pharmacology.

Recent studies have highlighted methenamine as a viable non-antibiotic alternative for preventing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), offering an advantage against growing antibiotic resistance. Knowing what happens when you take methenamine is crucial for understanding its role as a long-term prophylactic agent for urinary health.

Methenamine tablets are a unique type of urinary antiseptic used to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Unlike traditional antibiotics, they work by releasing formaldehyde in acidic urine to kill bacteria and reduce the risk of future infections.

According to a 2023 scientific study published in *BMC Chemistry*, low levels of formaldehyde, along with other chemicals, have been detected in ZYN nicotine pouches. This finding provides essential context for consumers regarding the contents of these products, which are often marketed as 'tobacco-free'.
