Icufos 4Gm Infusion 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 Icufos 4Gm Infusion. Fosfomycin should be used only when other antibiotics have failed or are ineffective. Icufos 4Gm Infusion prevents bacterial cell wall formation (a protective covering required for survival). Bacteria are thus killed. Additionally, Icufos 4Gm Infusion 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 Icufos 4Gm Infusion.
