Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has been used by healthcare professionals in the United States for more than 45 years. It is usually given by mouth to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections. In Europe, the IV formulation of fosfomycin is used to treat different types of infections, including serious multi-drug resistant infections. Because the intravenous formulation of the drug is delivered directly into the bloodstream, it reaches the target organs and begins fighting infections faster than the oral version, an important consideration for difficult-to-treat drug-resistant infections.
