"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!"

"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 "It's marvelous! With one dose, cystitis is gone! The only problem is I can't find it in the UK, I buy mine in Italy, where I'm from."

Fosfomycin "Will not take Monurol again. Side effects: 4 days of heavy diarrhea, bloating, mild nausea, acid stomach. First time for an infection, it went away, but side effects of the drug were horrible for me."

"Fosfomycin worked perfectly for my bladder infection - would recommend! Felt a bit wiped out on day one, but other than that, it cured my UTI and had much less negative side effects than Macrobid."

"It tastes amazing, which was surprising, however, it did cause diarrhea. Have to wait 3 days for my urine cultures to be back to see if it was the right antibiotic."
