How to Get Fosfomycin Online in Dublin

Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for Fosfomycin online in Dublin. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI). If appropriate, they issue a prescription for Fosfomycin within 24 hours; it then goes through Ireland's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense. The consultation is a flat €35.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out a secure online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the €35 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your medical information. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy in Ireland; the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense your medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in adult EU patients. During the private medical questionnaire, the doctor assesses your symptoms, medical history, and any current medications. They look for typical signs of cystitis, such as painful urination, frequent urination, and a persistent urge to urinate. The doctor will rule out more complicated conditions like kidney infections (pyelonephritis), male UTIs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) before considering Fosfomycin.

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections in the urinary tract. It works by preventing bacteria from forming cell walls, effectively killing them. For uncomplicated UTIs, a single dose of Fosfomycin can often clear the infection within 2–3 days. It is not effective against viral infections, and it is not a painkiller; its primary role is to eliminate the bacterial cause of the infection.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare but can include severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or persistent, severe diarrhoea (which could indicate a more serious gut infection). If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your symptoms do not improve or worsen after taking Fosfomycin, you should seek immediate medical attention.
