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.

FOSFONA 4GM 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 FOSFONA 4GM INJECTION. Fosfomycin should be used only when other antibiotics have failed or are ineffective. FOSFONA 4GM INJECTION prevents bacterial cell wall formation (a protective covering required for survival). Bacteria are thus killed. Additionally, FOSFONA 4GM 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 FOSFONA 4GM INJECTION. FOSFONA 4GM 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 FOSFONA 4GM INJECTION. If you have kidney problems or are undergoing dialysis, inform your doctor, as the dose may be reduced.
