Fosfomycin is an antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections, including acute uncomplicated cystitis in adults and adolescents. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, thereby destroying the bacteria responsible for the infection. Fosfomycin is effective against many bacteria, including some strains resistant to other antibiotics.
Fosfomycin is usually administered as a powder dissolved in water and taken orally, with a single dose being sufficient in most cases of uncomplicated urinary infections. For other types of infections or in patients with special conditions, the doctor may recommend a different dosing regimen.
Common side effects include digestive disturbances such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. Allergic reactions are rare but may include skin rashes, itching, or, in very rare cases, severe reactions. It is important for patients to inform their doctor about any unusual symptoms.
Fosfomycin is a valuable antibiotic for the rapid and effective treatment of urinary infections, but its use should be responsible and according to the doctor's instructions to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.
