Understanding Fosfomycin: Your Single-Dose UTI Solution
Fosfomycin is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic that has been helping Filipinos defeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) quickly and effectively. Listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition as an essential medicine (3g granules for oral solution), this government-approved treatment is the gold standard for uncomplicated UTIs—offering the convenience of a single dose instead of a week-long course of antibiotics.
What Does Fosfomycin Treat?
Think of Fosfomycin as your bladder's rapid-response team. It effectively treats:
- Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs/Cystitis)—that burning sensation when you pee, frequent urges, and lower belly pain in women
- Complicated UTIs—infections in patients with urinary catheters, diabetes, or other medical conditions (requires multiple doses)
- Multi-Drug Resistant UTIs—infections caused by superbugs like ESBL-producing E. coli, some CRE, VRE, and MRSA that don't respond to common antibiotics
- Recurrent UTIs—for women who get UTIs frequently and need a reliable treatment option
How Fosfomycin Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine bacteria building their cell walls like construction workers building a house. Fosfomycin works by blocking the very first step of cell wall construction (an enzyme called MurA). Without a proper cell wall, bacteria can't survive—they literally burst and die. The best part? Fosfomycin achieves super-high concentrations in your urine (1000-4000 times higher than needed to kill bacteria) and stays active for over 48 hours. That's why just one dose is often enough for uncomplicated UTIs—it's like a powerful, long-lasting shield for your urinary tract.

- Watch For: Severe or persistent diarrhea (could indicate C. difficile infection), severe headache, fever that doesn't improve after 2-3 days, back pain (possible kidney infection). Contact our doctor immediately if these occur
- Important: If symptoms don't improve within 2-3 days, you may have a complicated UTI or pyelonephritis (kidney infection) that needs different treatment. Always complete the full course if prescribed multiple doses
- Drug Interactions: Metoclopramide (Reglan) can decrease Fosfomycin absorption—separate doses by at least 2 hours. Always disclose all medications during your free consultation

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Fosfomycin: Ang Iyong Single-Dose Solusyon sa UTI
Ang Fosfomycin ay isang broad-spectrum antibiotic na mabisang nagpapagaling sa urinary tract infections (UTI) nang mabilis. Ayon sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition), ito ay aprubado ng DOH bilang essential medicine (3g granules for oral solution)—ang gold standard para sa uncomplicated UTIs na nag-aalok ng convenience ng single dose sa halip na isang linggong antibiotics.
Ano ang Mga Ginagamot ng Fosfomycin?
Ang Fosfomycin ay parang rapid-response team ng iyong bladder:
- Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTI/Cystitis)—ang pananakit kapag umiihi, madalas na pag-ihi, at pananakit ng tiyan sa mga babae
- Complicated UTIs—impeksyon sa mga pasyenteng may urinary catheters, diabetes, o iba pang kondisyon (kailangan ng multiple doses)
- Multi-Drug Resistant UTIs—impeksyon na sanhi ng superbugs na hindi gumagaling sa common antibiotics
- Recurrent UTIs—para sa mga babaeng madalas magkaroon ng UTI
Paano Gumagana ang Fosfomycin?
Imahe-in na ang bacteria ay nagtatayo ng kanilang cell walls tulad ng construction workers na nagtatayo ng bahay. Ang Fosfomycin ay humaharang sa unang hakbang ng pagtatayo ng cell wall (enzyme na tinatawag na MurA). Nawawalan ng tamang cell wall ang bacteria—literally sila ay nababasag at namamatay. Ang pinakamaganda? Ang Fosfomycin ay nakakaabot ng super-high concentrations sa iyong ihi (1000-4000 times higher) at nananatiling aktibo ng mahigit 48 oras. Kaya isang dose lang ang kailangan para sa uncomplicated UTIs—parang powerful, long-lasting shield para sa iyong urinary tract.
