Dissolve it in a glass of water and drink immediately, preferably at bedtime, 2 hours after meals (after emptying the bladder).
Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks, and drink plenty of water while taking Fosfomax.
Diarrhea is a common side effect. Inform your doctor if it does not get better or if you see blood in stools.
