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 reviews your medical history and current symptoms through the online questionnaire to ensure it's a safe and appropriate treatment. They look for:
- Symptoms typical of acute cystitis (e.g., painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort).
- Absence of symptoms indicating a complicated UTI (e.g., fever, back pain, nausea, vomiting).
- No history of kidney problems or other conditions that would contraindicate Fosfomycin.
- No known allergies to the medication.
The doctor's clinical assessment determines if Fosfomycin is the right choice for you.
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 interfering with the bacterial cell wall formation, effectively killing the bacteria causing the infection. It's often prescribed as a single-dose treatment for uncomplicated UTIs.
It acts quickly to relieve symptoms, typically within 2-3 days. However, it is not effective against viral infections or complicated UTIs, which require different treatments. Fosfomycin is not prescribed for kidney infections (pyelonephritis), male UTIs, STIs with urinary symptoms, or asymptomatic bacteriuria.
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:
- Nausea, diarrhoea, or stomach upset.
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
You should stop taking Fosfomycin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing) or persistent, severe diarrhoea, which could indicate a more serious condition.
