CompositionFosrium Powder 8gm is an antibiotic used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as acute cystitis (bladder infection) in women, caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing fosfomycin, and belongs to a class of medicines called antibiotics.
This medicine works by stopping bacteria from building their cell wall, which kills the bacteria and helps relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, burning or pain while passing urine, and lower abdominal discomfort. It comes as a powder that must be dissolved in water before you drink it. Use the dose and duration your doctor prescribes, and complete the treatment as directed. It is not meant for treating kidney infections.
Drinking plenty of water, passing urine regularly and not holding it in, and keeping the genital area clean can help ease and prevent urinary infections alongside this treatment.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any allergies, kidney problems, or take other medicines. Antibiotics only work against bacterial infections, and using them when they are not needed can lead to antibiotic resistance. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if you develop fever, back pain or severe diarrhoea.
