For Urinary Tract Infection "My doctor prescribed this for a potential UTI (frequent urination and trace of blood in pee). Seemed easy, one packet and done, so I thought. Took it late in the day on Tuesday, and by Wednesday I started to have pain in my stomach and then nausea and diarrhea. By Thursday into Friday, it was more frequent, and then began the rash on my skin-very intense itchy spots and then welts. By Friday night, I started to have excruciating lower back pain, and then Saturday it was all the above and added in groin pain. I feel awful. Going to the doctor tomorrow. I feel so horrible and still have urgency."

Fosfomycin for Bladder Infection "My dr gave Monurol to me over a week ago for a urine infection. I took it, excited I would start feeling better over the weekend. I felt better for about a day and a half. Then it got worse! My dr sent me for tests because she thought maybe something else was wrong, but as I waited for results, the pain became unbearable and I begged for a new Rx. She gave me a second dose of this - two days after taking it I felt like I was getting better! This morning, however, my back is in so much pain. I’m pretty sure the infection has spread to my kidneys. I tried to be proactive - the second I noticed the bladder infection symptoms to avoid a kidney infection, as I have had one once before and I guess the joke's on me. If I need to go on another med, it will not be this one!"

For Bladder Infection "I was prescribed this med a week ago. Felt better after 3 days. After a week plus a few days, the bladder infection symptoms are back and horrible. I can't take the pain, it's horrible. Now tomorrow, I have to go see a doctor again and let her check my urine to see if the bacteria are still in the bladder, which I am sure they are. I guess the first time you use this medicine, it will be okay, but afterwards, it's useless. I will let you guys know what I was given after and if it helped me or not."
