1. What Fosfomycin Level is and what it is used for

Fosfomycin Level contains the active substance fosfomycin. It belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics. It works by eliminating certain types of germs (bacteria) that can cause serious infectious diseases. Your doctor has decided to treat you with Fosfomycin Level to help your body fight an infection. It is essential that you receive effective treatment for this condition.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections such as the flu or the common cold.

It is essential that you follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw medicines down the drain or in the trash.

Fosfomycin Level is used in adults, adolescents, and children to treat infections caused by bacteria in:

  • the urinary tract
  • the heart, sometimes called "endocarditis"
  • the bones and joints
  • the lungs, called "pneumonia"
  • the skin and tissues under the skin
  • the central nervous system
  • the abdomen
  • the blood, when originating from any of the aforementioned conditions.

  • high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • a specific hormonal disorder (hyperaldosteronism)
  • high sodium levels in the blood (hypernatremia)
  • fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary edema)
  • kidney problems. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of the medicine (see section 3 of this package leaflet)
  • previous episodes of diarrhea after taking or being administered any other antibiotic.

Fosfomycin Level can cause severe side effects. These include allergic reactions, inflammation of the large intestine, and a decrease in the number of white blood cells. You should pay attention to certain symptoms while taking this medicine to reduce the risk of problems. See "Severe side effects" in section 4.

Other medicines and Fosfomycin Level

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine, including those purchased without a prescription.

This is especially important if you are taking:

  • anticoagulants, as fosfomycin and other antibiotics may alter your ability to prevent blood clotting.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Fosfomycin may pass to the baby in the womb or through breast milk. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will only prescribe this medicine when strictly necessary.

Driving and using machines

When Fosfomycin Level is administered, side effects such as confusion and weakness may occur. If these occur, you should not drive or operate machinery.

Fosfomycin Level contains sodium (supplied by the active ingredient)

This medicine contains 333 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt) in each vial. This is equivalent to 17% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

3. How to use Fosfomycin Level

Follow the administration instructions for this medicine exactly as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Fosfomycin Level is administered intravenously (drip) by a doctor or nurse.

Posology

The dose you receive and the frequency of administration will depend on:

  • The type and severity of the infection you have
  • Your kidney function

In children, it also depends on:

  • The child's weight
  • The child's age

If you have kidney problems or need dialysis, your doctor may need to reduce the dose of this medicine.

Route and method of administration

For intravenous use.

Fosfomycin Level is administered in a vein (drip) by a doctor or nurse.

Normally, the infusion will last between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the dose administered. In general, this medicine is administered 2, 3, or 4 times a day.

Duration of treatment

Your doctor will decide how long the treatment should last based on how quickly your condition improves. In the treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to complete the entire treatment cycle. Treatment should continue for a few days after the fever has disappeared and symptoms have subsided.

Some infections, such as bone infections, may require a longer treatment period after symptoms have subsided.

If you receive more Fosfomycin Level than you should

It is unlikely that your doctor or nurse will administer too much medicine. If you think you have received too much of this medicine, ask them immediately.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
