How Fosinta Sachet Works

Fosinta Sachet contains Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works by stopping the formation of bacterial cell walls. Bacteria need a protective cell wall to survive, grow, and multiply. Fosfomycin blocks the enzymes required to build this wall, which weakens and destroys the bacteria. As the bacteria die, the infection in the urinary tract gradually clears and symptoms such as burning urination and frequent urge to urinate improve.
