What is fosfomycin used to treat?

[Lucas]

Fosfomycin uses is an antibiotic primarily used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by certain bacteria, including E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of the bacteria. Fosfomycin is available in oral form and is often prescribed for patients who may not tolerate other antibiotics or have resistant infections. Its single-dose regimen can improve patient adherence to treatment. Additionally, fosfomycin may be considered for treating specific cases of other infections, but its primary use remains focused on UTIs. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
