Monurol (Fosfomycin Tromethamine) - Drug Interactions, Contraindications, Overdosage

 



DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug Interactions

Metoclopramide: When coadministered with MONUROL, metoclopramide, a drug which increases gastrointestinal motility, lowers the serum concentration and urinary excretion of fosfomycin. Other drugs that increase gastrointestinal motility may produce similar effects.

OVERDOSAGE

In acute toxicology studies, oral administration of high doses of MONUROL up to 5 gm/kg were well-tolerated in mice and rats, produced transient and minor incidences of watery stool in rabbits, and produced diarrhea with anorexia in dogs occurring 2-3 days after single dose administration. These doses represent 50-125 times the human therapeutic dose.

The following events have been observed in patients who have taken Monurol in overdose: vestibular loss, impaired hearing, metallic taste, and general decline in taste perception. In the event of overdosage, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

MONUROL is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug.
