Erafos 3gm Granules 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.

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

Take Erafos 3gm Granules as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Erafos 3gm Granules 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 Erafos 3gm Granules. 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.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Erafos 3gm Granules, some sugars or other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Erafos 3gm Granules. Erafos 3gm Granules is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Erafos 3gm Granules is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney problems and patients undergoing hemodialysis (a process of purifying blood by filtering out extra fluids and wastes when kidneys are not working). If you previously had diarrhoea caused by other antibiotics, inform your doctor before taking Erafos 3gm Granules.

Erafos 3gm Granules includes Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria that grow aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen). Erafos 3gm Granules prevents the formation of the necessary bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) for survival. As a result, it kills bacteria. Additionally, Erafos 3gm Granules inhibits bacterial attachment to cells lining the urinary bladder, preventing bladder infection caused by E.coli bacteria.

• Avoid alcohol, soda, coffee, tea, and artificial sweeteners, as they may cause bladder irritation.
• Drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Erafos 3gm Granules to flush out the bacteria.
• Avoid spicy foods and citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruits) as they may irritate the bladder.
• Eat foods antioxidant-rich foods such as blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, and plain greek yoghurt.
• Take probiotics after completing the entire course of Erafos 3gm Granules to restore some good bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria. 
• Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as brown rice and whole-grain bread should be included in your diet.
