Meropenem Injection

Meropenem is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a carbapenem-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats onlybacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

How to use:     
This medication is given by injection into a vein, usually every 8 hours or as directed by your doctor.
Follow all instructions for proper mixing with the correct IV fluids. Consult your doctor for details. Before using, check the product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, use this drug at evenly spaced intervals. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
