Fonyl 4gm Injection 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 Fonyl 4gm Injection. Fosfomycin should be used only when other antibiotics have failed or are ineffective. Fonyl 4gm Injection prevents bacterial cell wall formation (a protective covering required for survival). Bacteria are thus killed. Additionally, Fonyl 4gm Injection reduces the attachment of bacteria to the cells lining the urinary bladder.
