Adapted from BMJ 13 September 2025
Gepotidacin is the first new antibiotic to be approved in the UK in 30 years.
It has a mechanism that makes it more difficult than usual for bacteria to develop resistance to it.
It is approved for females over the age of 12 and over the weight of 40 kg.
Its use will only be for uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
My comment: Urinary infections are indeed a misery. I’m delighted that another antibiotic has been found. Remember that D:Mannose can also be very effective for the prevention and treatment of UTIs.
