Reviews for Fosfomycin

"This is the only drug left that will stop my recurrent UTI’s. 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."

"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!"
