This medication is administered intravenously, ensuring rapid and efficient delivery into the bloodstream for prompt therapeutic action.

Key Benefits:

1. Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including multi-drug resistant strains.
2. Rapid Onset of Action: Intravenous administration ensures quick delivery and action in the body.
3. Treatment of Severe Infections: Ideal for managing serious infections like septicemia, meningitis, and complicated intra-abdominal infections.
4. High Efficacy: Proven to be highly effective where other antibiotics may fail, due to its broad-spectrum activity and potent mechanism of action.
5. Well-Tolerated: Generally well-tolerated by patients, with a favorable safety profile.

How Does It Work?

Meropenem, the active component of MENEROPEN 500 IV, functions by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. This inhibition results in the weakening and eventual lysis (bursting) of the bacterial cell wall, effectively killing the bacteria. Its broad-spectrum activity ensures that it can combat a variety of bacterial pathogens, making it a versatile choice in severe and mixed infections.

Directions for Use:

• Administration: MENEROPEN 500 IV should be administered intravenously by a healthcare professional.
• Dosage: The dosage is determined by the type and severity of the infection, patient age, and kidney function. Follow your doctor's instructions precisely.
• Preparation: The medication should be reconstituted and diluted according to the manufacturer’s guidelines before administration.
• Duration: Complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent resistance.

Side Effects:

While MENEROPEN 500 IV is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects, including but not limited to:

• Common Side Effects:

  • Diarrhea
