Medicinal Benefits

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

Habit Forming

No

Special Advise

  • The levels of electrolytes are regularly monitored while taking FO-Suz Injection as it may cause high sodium or low potassium levels in the blood.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of FO-Suz Injection in order to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria. 
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. 
  • Maintain a low-sodium diet as FO-Suz Injection in injection form may increase sodium levels in the blood.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are taking FO-Suz Injection.
