Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Fosfofic 4Gm Inj 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 Fosfofic 4Gm Inj. Fosfomycin should be used only when other antibiotics have failed or are ineffective. Fosfofic 4Gm Inj prevents bacterial cell wall formation (a protective covering required for survival). Bacteria are thus killed. Additionally, Fosfofic 4Gm Inj reduces the attachment of bacteria to the cells lining the urinary bladder.
If you are allergic to Fosfomycin or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Fosfofic 4Gm Inj. Fosfofic 4Gm Inj may be used with caution in children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose depends on the child’s age and weight.

Take probiotics after completing the full course of Fosfofic 4Gm Inj 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.

Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever and tiredness.
