Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field, specifically relating to a sodium fosfomycin composition and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Fosfomycin sodium is an antibiotic. It is used for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It can also be used in combination with other antibiotics to treat severe infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as sepsis, peritonitis, and osteomyelitis.
[0003] Infections during clinical surgery are often mixed infections involving both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, rather than single anaerobic or aerobic infections. Metronidazole is the first-line drug for treating anaerobic infections. Clinically, fosfomycin sodium is often used in combination with metronidazole to prevent surgical infections and treat complex infections involving anaerobic bacteria. Internationally, the safety and efficacy of fosfomycin combined with metronidazole for preventing colorectal surgery infections are considered equivalent to that of doxycycline combined with metronidazole. However, both injectable fosfomycin sodium and injectable metronidazole are single-drug formulations. When used separately, the dosage of metronidazole is very high, and metronidazole has strong toxic side effects. Normal therapeutic doses of metronidazole can cause gastrointestinal reactions, most commonly including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, and high neurotoxicity. Fosfomycin sodium has a broad antibacterial spectrum, but its bactericidal effect is relatively weak, and it has mild gastrointestinal adverse reactions.
[0004] In view of the current state of the technology, there is a need for a sodium fosfomycin and its preparation method, namely sodium fosfomycin combined with metronidazole lipid microspheres, to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
