When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of methenamine salts (i.e. methenamine hippurate or mandelate), but not the base, is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or dehydration. Methenamine is excreted by the kidney and concentrated in the urine. In patients with low urinary output, the salts can precipitate and cause crystalluria.
