Fosfomycin for Bladder Infection "This is about the fourth time I have used Monurol. Started fine and couldn’t believe how quickly it worked. I now find whenever I take Monurol, I suffer from stomach pain and bloating about 2 weeks after. I am not only having that problem, but now pain in my right kidney and waking up nightly with it. Don’t know what I will do next, as I have found antibiotics in the past have made me ill."

For Bladder Infection "If I had read all the stuff on here before taking it, I probably never would have, I’m so glad I did not. Amazing!! No side effects. The only thing I would suggest is get a culture done first, not just the dipstick test. I show up negative every time with the dipstick test, but positive with culture. Plus, a culture will let you know what antibiotics your UTI is sensitive to. Also, try D-mannose and lots of water. Just flush that nastiness out!! This is my go-to, but everyone is different. We need to get the vaccine here in America."

Fosfomycin for Transurethral Prostatectomy "After decades of suffering with recurrent bouts of prostatitis with little to no relief from the standard antibiotics, I finally tried Monurol. Such a difference! After a few courses, my problem was completely eliminated and has not returned in about 15 years."

Fosfomycin for Bladder Infection "Took a single dose and urine smelled less foul, and I think I am free of infection, but not diarrhea, I’m afraid. Very urgent motions nearly every time I pass urine. Hope it doesn’t last more than a week."

For Bladder Infection "This was a game changer for me. Almost every antibiotic came with a slew of side effects, almost as bad as the UTI itself - from anxiety to nausea. After recurrent, repeat infections, it started to seem hopeless. That’s when my doctor suggested I drink this little packet, and within a matter of hours I felt immense relief! My doctor ordered me a small supply to keep on hand in case I feel one coming on, I can instantly treat it! So easy and doesn’t taste gross! And I haven’t noticed a single side effect, which is rare for me!"

For Bladder Infection "It's been a week today that I took fosfomycin. I have 2-3 UTIs annually and have usually taken Cipro for 7 days. However, it was only a month ago that I had the previous UTI, so I'm assuming I have built up a resistance. So…PA prescribed fosfomycin, which seemed like a godsend since I only had to take it once. The next day, symptoms were gone, only to be replaced by loose bowels and a yeast infection. Used OTC meds for the yeast infection but am still dealing with some looseness. But good news: no recurrence of UTI. However, I am very weak and have low back pain. So…we'll see!"

For Bladder Infection "This is the only drug left that will stop my recurrent UTIs. I have grown immune or have side effects from all other drugs used to treat this condition. It has a pleasant orange taste (reminds me of Tang) and dissolves easily in water. The only problem I have with it is that because you take it every other day for three days, it’s hard to remember to take it unless you write the days down that you need to take it."

Fosfomycin "Works great, almost gets rid of my UTI symptoms immediately. Way better than taking the pills for two weeks. Sometimes it makes me a bit nauseous, but that goes away after some hours. Other than that, it’s magic!"
