Abstract
Fosfomycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has been found to have an action of lowering the serum glucose level and is recognized to be useful as an orally administrable remedy for treating diabetes. It has further been found that the serum glucose level-lowering action of fosfomycin or its salt can be enhanced synergistically and significantly when forfomycin is administered in association with vanadyl sulfate and the like. Therefore,the composition comprising fosfomycin or its salt and vanadyl sulfate or the like is useful as an orally administrable remedy for treating diabetes.
