There is inadequate evidence of safety of methenamine hippuratein human pregnancy, but it has been in wide use for many years without apparent ill consequence. Animal studies are insufficient with respect to reproductive toxicity. As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of methenamine hippurate during pregnancy.
