MEROPENEM 1GM

Meropenem is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic that is used to treat severe bacterial infections of the skin, stomach, urinary tract, blood, and brain such as bacterial meningitis 123. It works by penetrating bacterial cells and interfering with the synthesis of vital cell wall components, which leads to cell death. Meropenem is available in the form of an intravenous powder for injection (1000 mg; 500 mg) and intravenous solution (1000 mg/50 mL-NaCl 0.9%). The recommended dose of meropenem for adults and adolescents is 500 mg to 2 g every 8 hours depending on the severity of the infection. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may lower your dose.
