For uncomplicated UTI in females, how is Fosfomycin administered?

Intravenously
In a single dose
Twice daily for five days
Once daily for seven days

The correct answer is: In a single dose

For uncomplicated UTI in females, Fosfomycin is typically administered in a single dose. This is because Fosfomycin has a unique characteristic of being effective as a single-dose treatment due to its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The drug achieves high concentrations in the urine shortly after administration, making it suitable for a one-time dosing regimen to effectively treat uncomplicated UTIs. The other options are incorrect because Fosfomycin is not administered intravenously, and it is not typically given as a twice-daily regimen for five days or a once-daily regimen for seven days for uncomplicated UTIs.
