Suction
Ingestion phosphomycin well absorbed from the intestine and reaches bioavailability of about 50%. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is observed after 2-2,5 hours after ingestion and is 22-32 mg / l. The half-life of plasma is 4 hours.
Admission with food slows down absorption, without affecting the concentration in the urine.
Distribution
Fosfomycin is distributed in the kidneys, the walls of the bladder, the prostate and the seminal glands. The constant concentration of phosphomycin in the urine, exceeding the Minimum Bacteriostatic Concentration (MBcK), is reached 24-48 hours after oral administration.
Phosphomycin is not bound by plasma proteins and overcomes the placental barrier. After a single injection phosphomycin is excreted in breast milk in small amounts.
Excretion
Fosfomycin is excreted unchanged, mainly by the kidneys by glomerular filtration (40-50% of the dose is detected in the urine), and the period half-life is about 4 hours, and to a lesser extent - with feces (18-23% dose).
The appearance of a second peak concentration in the serum at 6 and 10 hours after taking the drug suggests that the drug is prone to intestinal hepatic recirculation.
The pharmacokinetic properties of phosphomycin are independent of age and pregnancy.The drug is cumulated in patients with renal insufficiency; the pharmacokinetic parameters of phosphomycin and the rate of glomerular filtration are linear.
