Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin only for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor will review your medical history and symptoms through the online questionnaire to determine if you qualify. This includes assessing:

• Your specific symptoms of acute cystitis (e.g., painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort).
• If you have a history of complicated UTIs, kidney infections (pyelonephritis), or male UTIs, which typically require different treatment.
• Any allergies or sensitivities to antibiotics.
• Other relevant medical conditions or medications you are currently taking.
• Pregnancy status, as Fosfomycin may not be suitable in all cases.

The doctor's primary goal is to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your specific situation. If the doctor determines Fosfomycin is not appropriate, your consultation fee is fully refunded.

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic that works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for uncomplicated UTIs. It is often prescribed as a single-dose treatment due to its ability to reach high concentrations in the urine and remain active for an extended period.

It is important to understand that Fosfomycin is specifically used for uncomplicated bacterial infections of the bladder (cystitis). It is not effective against viral infections, nor is it typically used for more severe infections like kidney infections (pyelonephritis), male UTIs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that might present with similar urinary symptoms. Relief from symptoms typically begins within 24-48 hours, but it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if you feel better sooner.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects are usually mild and may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Headache
• Vaginitis

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any severe or concerning side effects such as:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing)
• Severe or persistent diarrhea (especially if bloody or watery)
• Signs of a new infection or worsening symptoms

If your symptoms do not improve within 2-3 days of taking Fosfomycin, or if they worsen, you should contact a doctor immediately as the infection may not be responding to the treatment or could be a more serious condition. Always follow your doctor's advice regarding your treatment.
