About UT Sure 3gm Powder

UT Sure 3gm Powder is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent bladder infections. Bladder infection is mostly caused by a bacterial infection within the bladder. Bacteria enter through the urethra, move into the bladder and cause infections.

UT Sure 3gm Powder contains Fosfomycin, which inhibits the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for survival. Thus, it kills bacteria. Also, UT Sure 3gm Powder decreases the attachment of bacteria to cells lining the urinary bladder, thereby preventing bladder infection caused by E.coli bacteria. 

Take UT Sure 3gm Powder as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take UT Sure 3gm Powder for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, headache, indigestion, and vulvovaginitis (swelling or infection of the vulva and vagina) as side effects of UT Sure 3gm Powder. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
