Fosfomycin Sodium for Injection

Function and Efficacy

Fosfomycin has antibacterial effects on Gram-positive cocci such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. It also has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Serratia, Shigella, Yersinia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Vibrio and Aeromonas. Fosfomycin can inhibit the early synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Its molecular structure is similar to phosphoenolpyruvate, so it can compete with bacteria for the same transferase, inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and leading to bacterial death.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: There is still a lack of data on the safety of this product for children. It should not be used in children under 5 years old. Children over 5 years old should use it with caution and in reduced dosage. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: This product can pass through the placenta and quickly enter the fetal circulation. However, there is no sufficient and strict control observation on the effect on the fetus. Therefore, it should be prohibited for pregnant women. This product can also be excreted through breast milk. Therefore, breastfeeding women should avoid using it. If the drug must be used, breastfeeding should be suspended. Precautions for the elderly: Since this product is mainly excreted from the kidneys, the liver and kidney functions of the elderly are often physiologically reduced, so the elderly should use it with caution and reduce the dosage according to the patient's condition.

Drug Interactions

1. It has a synergistic effect with beta-lactam antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 2. It has a synergistic effect when used in combination with aminoglycoside antibiotics. 3. The in vitro antibacterial activity of this product is easily weakened by the interference of glucose or (and) phosphate in the culture medium. Adding a small amount of glucose-6-phosphate can enhance the effect of this product.

Storage
