Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin specifically for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor carefully reviews your medical history and symptoms through the online questionnaire to ensure it's the right treatment for you. This includes assessing:

• Your current symptoms (e.g., painful urination, frequent urge, lower abdominal discomfort).
• Any relevant medical conditions or allergies.
• Whether you have a history of complicated UTIs or kidney infections (pyelonephritis).
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Other medications you are currently taking.

Fosfomycin is generally not prescribed for complicated UTIs, kidney infections, male UTIs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that may present with similar symptoms.

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by certain bacteria. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for the infection. Typically, a single dose is prescribed.

Patients often experience symptom relief within 2-3 days. It's important to understand that Fosfomycin is not a painkiller; it targets the bacterial cause of the infection. If your symptoms do not improve within this timeframe, or if they worsen, you should seek further medical advice.

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, indigestion, headache, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary.

It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
• Severe or persistent diarrhoea, especially if it contains blood or mucus (which could indicate a more serious condition).
• New or worsening symptoms of your UTI after completing the treatment.
