Suction: Monural® is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract by oral ingestion.
In the body dissociates into phosphomycin and trometamol. The latter does not have antibacterial properties. Bioavailability with a single oral dose of 3 g is from 34 to 65%. The maximum concentration in plasma is observed after 2-2,5 hours after oral administration and is 22-32 mg / l. The half-life of the plasma is 4 hours.
Distribution: Monural® does not bind to plasma proteins, not
metabolized, mainly accumulated in the urine. With oral intake of a single dose of 3 g in urine is achieved high concentration (from 1053 to 4415 mg / l), 99% bactericidal for most common pathogens of urinary tract infections. The minimum inhibitory concentration of Monural® for these pathogens is 128 mg / l. It is maintained in the urine for 24-48 hours, which involves a one-day course of treatment. The concentration of Monural in the urine is above the minimum inhibitory concentration for E. coli remains for at least 80 hours.
Excretion: Monural® is 90% excreted by the kidneys in an unchanged form with the creation of high concentrations in the urine. About 10% of the dose taken is removed through the intestines in an unchanged form.In patients with a moderate decrease in renal function (creatinine clearance <80 mil / min), including its physiological decline in the elderly, the half-life of phosphomycin slightly lengthens, but the concentration in the urine remains at the therapeutic level.
