Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases. Uncomplicated UTI usually develops in people without obstructive uropathies and structural changes in the kidney and urinary tract in the absence of background diseases. Unreasonable and irrational antibacterial therapy is a factor leading to the chronization of the process. The emergence of resistance of microbial strains to the most commonly used antibiotics causes a range of drugs to treat acute cystitis to be changed. Adequate antibiotic therapy is the cornerstone of successful treatment for acute uncomplicated cystitis. The once-daily antibiotic regimen has many undeniable advantages. Phosphomycin trometamol is a highly effective agent for the elimination of the causative agents of UTI and has a high safety profile.
