Fosfomycin: Why This Antibiotic is Rarely Prescribed
Fosfomycin 3gm sachet, an antibiotic, is rarely prescribed despite its broad-spectrum activity and effectiveness against resistant bacteria. Its limited use is due to several factors. Primarily, fosfomycin is often reserved for specific infections, such as uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), due to its narrow indication. Additionally, concerns about the development of resistance limit its widespread use. The lack of extensive clinical trials compared to other antibiotics further contributes to its restricted application. Moreover, availability issues and limited formulations in some regions make it less accessible. Despite its potential, these factors combined lead to fosfomycin being a less commonly chosen option in antibiotic therapy.
