Cefiderocol, sold under the brand name Fetroja among others, is an antibiotic used to treat complicated urinary tract infections when no other options are available.[5] It is indicated for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.[6][7][8] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include diarrhea, infusion site reactions, constipation and rash.[9]
Cefiderocol is in the cephalosporin family of medications.[5][10] It was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2019, and in the European Union in April 2020.[5][11][2] In September 2020, cefiderocol (Fetroja) received FDA approval[12] as supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) when caused by Gram-negative bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[13]
