Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Fosfomycin from an EU-licensed doctor in Malta. Hi-Doctor provides a secure online service for individuals seeking treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). For a flat fee of €35, an EU-licensed doctor will assess your case. If approved, you receive a digital prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our private online medical questionnaire. This takes 2–3 minutes and allows our doctors to understand your symptoms and medical history. You will also pay the €35 consultation fee at this stage.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case individually and in private. If the doctor determines that Fosfomycin treatment is not appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically. There is no risk to you if the doctor says no.
  3. If the doctor finds the treatment appropriate, you will receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU. Pharmacists will review the prescription and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent of Fosfomycin.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin only for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor will carefully review your medical history and questionnaire responses to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. They look for typical symptoms of cystitis and assess for any contraindications, such as kidney problems, allergies, or other conditions that would make Fosfomycin unsuitable.

What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)

Fosfomycin is an antibiotic used to treat acute, uncomplicated UTIs caused by susceptible bacteria. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for the infection. Typically, a single dose is effective for uncomplicated cases. It is not prescribed for complicated UTIs, kidney infections (pyelonephritis), male UTIs, sexually transmitted infections, or asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling of the face/tongue/throat, severe dizziness, trouble breathing), severe or persistent diarrhoea, or signs of a more serious infection such as fever or back pain.
