Fosfomycin Calcium Capsules are an antibiotic drug used to treat uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections. This medication is a first-line therapy and is also recommended for usage in the elderly. It is used as an adjuvant in chemotherapy to treat ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity caused by platinum-based anticancer drugs.
