Fosfomust Injection

Fosfomust Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used in the treatment of bacterial infections. Fosfomust Injection is used to treat bacterial meningitis (infection of membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord), complicated urinary tract infections, bacterial infections of bones and joints, heart, lungs, central nervous system, stomach, blood, skin, and tissues below the skin. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Fosfomust Injection contains Fosfomycin which works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell walls (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby killing bacteria. Also, Fosfomust Injection decreases the attachment of bacteria to cells lining the urinary bladder.

Fosfomust Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer. You may sometimes experience gastrointestinal disturbances, taste disturbances, or injection site reactions. Most of these side effects of Fosfomust Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Fosfomycin or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Fosfomust Injection. Fosfomust Injection could be used in children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose depends on the child’s age and weight. If you have experienced diarrhoea after receiving or taking antibiotics, inform your doctor before taking Fosfomust Injection. If you have kidney problems or are undergoing dialysis, inform your doctor as the dose may be reduced. 

Fosfomust Injection contains 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). Bacterial meningitis (infection of the membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord), complicated urinary tract infections, bacterial infections of bones and joints, heart, lungs, central nervous system, stomach, blood, skin, and tissues beneath the skin are all treated with Fosfomust Injection. Fosfomycin should be used only when other antibiotics have failed or are ineffective. Fosfomust Injection prevents bacterial cell wall formation (a protective covering required for survival). Bacteria are thus killed. Additionally, Fosfomust Injection reduces the attachment of bacteria to the cells lining the urinary bladder.

If you are allergic to Fosfomycin or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Fosfomust Injection. Fosfomust Injection may be used with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose depends on the child’s age and weight. If you had diarrhoea previously after receiving or taking antibiotics, inform your doctor before taking Fosfomust Injection. If you have kidney problems or are undergoing dialysis, inform your doctor, as the dose may be reduced. 

• The levels of electrolytes are regularly monitored while taking Fosfomust Injection as it may cause high sodium or low potassium levels in the blood.
