Fosfomycin Sachets

Fosfomycin Sachets come with the branding “DELFOMYCIN” and are a kind of antibiotic used to deal with or save bladder infections, which are a result of bacterial infections inside the bladder. Bacteria enter the bladder via the urethra and multiply, inflicting contamination. 

Fosfomycin Sachets contains Fosfomycin, which blocks the formation of the bacterial cellular wall, an essential shape for the bacteria’s survival. This leads to the death of the micro organism. Additionally, it prevents the attachment of microorganisms to the cells lining the urinary bladder, thereby preventing infections as a result of E. Coli microorganisms.
