About Fonyl 4gm Injection
Fonyl 4gm Injection belongs to a class of drugs called ‘antibiotics‘ used to treat bacterial infections. A Fonyl 4gm Injection in powder and granules form is used to prevent or treat the urinary tract’s bacterial infections. Fonyl4gm Injection in injection form is used to treat bacterial infections of bones, lung, brain, bladder and kidney. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
The Fonyl4gm Injection contains Fosfomycin that works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for survival. Thereby, kills bacteria. Also, Fonyl 4gm Injection decreases the attachment of bacteria to cells lining the urinary bladder, thereby preventing bladder infection caused by E Coli bacteria.

Fonyl4gm Injection in injection form is used to treat bacterial infections of bones, lung, brain, bladder and kidney and can be used when other antibiotics have not worked or cannot be used. It may be given alone or in combination with other antibiotics. Fonyl 4gm Injection inhibits the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for survival. Thereby, kills bacteria. Also, Fonyl 4gm Injection decreases the attachment of bacteria to cells lining the urinary bladder, thereby preventing bladder infection caused by E Coli bacteria.
