How Lithostat Affects Patients
Acetohydroxamic Acid is a synthetic drug derived from hydroxylamine and ethyl acetate. It is similar in structure to urea and, when taken, prevents the bacterial enzyme urease from working in the urine. It does not directly fight against bacteria and does not affect the acidity of the urine.
How Lithostat works in the body
Acetohydroxamic Acid stops bacteria from breaking down urea in urine. This decreases the pH and ammonia levels, which makes antimicrobial agents more effective at killing the bacteria. This makes it easier to treat the infection.
