"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 "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."
