What Experts Say

Fosfomycin blocks an early step bacteria need to build their cell wall, which kills the bacteria causing a bladder infection.

A single sachet dissolved in water clears most uncomplicated UTIs, useful for women who struggle to finish a multi day antibiotic course.

It works best on an empty stomach at bedtime, and symptoms should improve within two to three days; if not, medical review is needed.
