  2. A licensed EU doctor confidentially reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin only for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible patients. During the online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history and symptoms to determine if you qualify. This includes looking for:

  • Typical symptoms of acute cystitis (e.g., painful urination, frequent urge to urinate).
  • Absence of fever, back pain, or other signs of a more complicated infection.
  • No history of kidney problems or other conditions that complicate UTI treatment.
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding, unless specifically deemed safe by the doctor.
  • No known allergies or contraindications to Fosfomycin.

The doctor's clinical assessment is crucial to ensure safe and appropriate treatment.

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible bacteria. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall formation, effectively killing the bacteria in the bladder. Typically, a single dose is effective for acute cystitis. You should expect to see an improvement in your symptoms within 2-3 days.

However, Fosfomycin is not suitable for all types of UTIs. It is not prescribed for kidney infections (pyelonephritis), recurrent UTIs without further investigation, male UTIs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that might mimic UTI symptoms. It also doesn't treat asymptomatic bacteriuria (bacteria in urine without symptoms).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, or dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), persistent severe diarrhea, or any other concerning symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the medication.
