Fosfomycin Therapy of Sinusitis a Clinical Study

Abstract

Fosfomycin (FOM) was used to treat 17 patients with sinusitis: 1.0g three times a day for 5 to 14 days.
9 of 11 patients with acute sinusitis, and 4 of 6 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic sinusitis were 76.5% of the 17 patients.
The only adverse reaction was diarrhea in 2 patients.
This was transient in nature and disappeared after the completion of treatment.
These results indicate that oral FOM is effective in the treatment of sinusitis.
