MEROPENEM (SITIPENAM) – Antibiotic
MEROPENEM (SITIPENAM) is a potent IV injection that is used as an antibacterial agent in the treatment of certain serious infections. It belongs to the class of carbapenem antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thus preventing the growth and proliferation of bacteria. The drug is primarily used for treating complicated skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis, intra-abdominal infections, and hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by susceptible bacteria. The dosing regimen for meropenem typically ranges from 1 to 2 grams, administered every 8-12 hours depending on the severity of the infection and patient factors. However, it should be noted that meropenem has been associated with gastrointestinal side effects, hypersensitivity reactions, and an increased risk of seizure activity in some patients. Therefore, careful monitoring and appropriate precautions are necessary when using this antibiotic to ensure its safety and efficacy in treating bacterial infections.
