Fosfomycin - Mechanism of Action

Fosfomycin tromethamine is a synthetic, broad-spectrum antibiotic medication specifically used in treating certain uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. Fosfomycin's mechanism of action is related to inhibiting bacterial wall synthesis by inactivating the enzyme enolpyruvyl transferase, leading to bacterial death. Fosfomycin may also impair the ability for bacteria to stick to epithelial cells in the urinary tract. Fosfomycin has demonstrated activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive aerobic organisms related to uncomplicated clinical conditions.

Fosfomycin - Cost and Dose

Fosfomycin is not inexpensive, costing almost $100 for one packet of fosfomycin 3g. Fosfomycin coupons may be available online or through patient assistance programs and some insurance plans may cover the costs associated with a fosfomycin prescription. Fosfomycin is an oral medication that is supplied in a single-dose sachet that contains fosfomycin 3g. More than one dose of fosfomycin prescription medication should generally not be taken for treatment. To take fosfomycin orally, one should pour the contents of the sachet into warm water and stir prior to ingesting. Following oral absorption of fosfomycin medication, fosfomycin tromethamine is easily absorbed in most people. Fosfomycin can generally be taken with or without food. In the body, fosfomycin is converted into a metabolite, a free acid known as fosfomycin. Fosfomycin is excreted in both the urine and the feces. The mean elimination half life is typically under six hours.The fosfomycin sachet should typically be stored at 25° C but check the package insert for exact instructions.
