Fosfomycin Oral Solution

Active Ingredients: Fosfomycin

Fosfomycin Oral Solution is an antibiotic drug used to treat certain bacterial infections in poultry. It is indicated for infectious coryza, fowl cholera, fowl typhoid, salmonellosis, ORT, and CRD. This formulation is considered a non-toxic, highly effective treatment for colibacillosis in broiler chickens.

Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum phosphonic antibiotic, which works by inactivating the enzyme, enolpyruvyl transferase. This action inhibits cell wall synthesis. Fosfomycin shows bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, such as some strains of Escherichia Coli and Salmonella.

While primarily used in poultry, the drug also finds applications in other veterinary contexts. It is sometimes used to treat urinary tract infections in companion animals, like cats and dogs. The drug's mechanism of action remains consistent across species, targeting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, although dosages and administration guidelines differ significantly based on the species, size, and specific health needs of the animal.

Do NOT use Fosfomycin Oral Solution for an animal that: • has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

A high mineral salt concentration will interfere with the solubility of fosfomycin. When the drug is administered orally to animals, it needs to be dissolved in water to ensure proper delivery and absorption. However, when the water source contains a high concentration of mineral salts, these salts can bind to the drug's molecules, forming insoluble complexes that are less bioavailable. This reduced solubility can hinder the medication's effectiveness in treating bacterial infections.
