"I take Fosfomycin packets twice a week. It was prescribed by my infectious disease specialist after all else failed. I have had UTIs for many years. Hiprex failed to control the infections after working for about three years. When this happened, numerous specialists put me on many different antibiotics with no success. After much research, I feel I have a Chronic Embedded UTI which has made a permanent home in the walls of the bladder. From what I read, there is no cure, only controlling the infection is possible. So far, Fosfomycin Packets have worked to do this, but only after adding a one-time prescription for five days of Levaquin, one 750mg pill a day, while continuing with the Fosfomycin Packets. I rate Fosfomycin Packets a ten because it has done its job so far. It's easy to take too."
