Fosfomycin (3gm)
Active composition
Fosfomycin inhibits the enzyme MurA, disrupting peptidoglycan synthesis and compromising bacterial cell wall integrity.
Medical applications
Fosidal Powder contains Fosfomycin 3gm, an effective broad-spectrum antibiotic used primarily to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible bacteria. Fosfomycin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of the bacteria. It is particularly useful against Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis, common pathogens responsible for uncomplicated UTIs. Fosidal Powder is typically administered as a single oral dose, making it a convenient treatment option. The powder should be dissolved in water before consumption, ensuring proper absorption and efficacy. This medication is often preferred for its minimal side effects and low potential for bacterial resistance compared to other antibiotics. Fosfomycin is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal pain. It is important to use Fosidal Powder only under medical supervision to ensure appropriate use and to avoid antibiotic resistance. Patients with known hypersensitivity to Fosfomycin or any component of the formulation should avoid this medication. Fosidal Powder is contraindicated in severe renal impairment and should be used cautiously in pregnant or breastfeeding women after consulting a healthcare professional.
