Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin primarily for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult EU patients. During the online consultation, the doctor carefully reviews your medical history and current symptoms. This assessment ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Factors the doctor considers include:

• Your specific symptoms (e.g., painful urination, frequent urge to urinate).
• Whether you have a history of recurrent UTIs.
• Any allergies or sensitivities to medications.
• Other medical conditions or medications you are currently taking.
• Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Fosfomycin is NOT considered for complicated UTIs, kidney infections (pyelonephritis), male UTIs, STIs with urinary symptoms, or if you have no symptoms (asymptomatic bacteriuria).

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic used to treat acute, uncomplicated UTIs caused by specific bacteria. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for the infection. Typically, a single dose of Fosfomycin begins to relieve symptoms within 2–3 days. It is crucial to understand that Fosfomycin is effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones, and it is specifically prescribed for uncomplicated bladder infections. It is not a broad-spectrum antibiotic for all types of infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary. You should stop taking Fosfomycin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Severe or persistent diarrhoea, especially if it contains blood or mucus.
• Symptoms of a new infection or worsening of your current symptoms.

Always follow your doctor's instructions and read the patient leaflet carefully.
