Fosfomycin Sachet Medication Description
Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic designed to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Its unique mechanism of action involves blocking the first step in bacterial cell wall synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme enolpyruvyl transferase. This disruption prevents bacteria from maintaining structural integrity, leading to their death. Fosfomycin is particularly valued for its convenience as a single oral dose of 3 grams dissolved in water is usually sufficient to clear the infection, making it ideal for patients who prefer a one-time treatment or have difficulty adhering to longer antibiotic courses. In clinical practice, fosfomycin is reserved for uncomplicated UTIs and is not suitable for more severe infections such as pyelonephritis or complicated urinary tract infections. Its pharmacokinetic profile ensures high urinary concentrations, which is critical for effective bacterial eradication. Fosfomycin is generally well tolerated, with minimal drug interactions, and is considered a safe option for most adults. However, clinicians should monitor for resistance patterns and avoid repeated use to maintain its effectiveness. -
Fosfomycin Sachet Side Effects
Fosfomycin is usually well tolerated, but some patients may experience mild side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, headache, or upset stomach. Rare but serious reactions include allergic responses like rash or swelling, and severe diarrhea that may indicate a more serious intestinal condition. Patients should seek medical attention if they develop persistent diarrhea, signs of an allergic reaction, or worsening symptoms. Those with kidney problems should use fosfomycin cautiously, and it should not be used for infections outside the urinary tract. -
