Can I take fosfomycin powder if I am pregnant?

22-year-old woman2 years ago

I have a urinary tract infection when I am 15 weeks pregnant. The pharmacist prescribed Fosfomycin powder to eliminate the bacteria. However, I read that it should not be taken while pregnant?

Thank you for your question!

I want to reassure you that fosfomycin can be taken if you are pregnant. I have consulted two resources that specialize in the use of medication in pregnant women.

I hope I've reassured you, so please don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
