Faropenem

Faropenem is an antibiotic medication belonging to the carbapenem class. It is used for treating serious bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, infections of the skin and soft tissues, and intra-abdominal infections. Faropenem works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping the body’s immune system to fight the infection. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by the healthcare professional to ensure the infection is fully eliminated and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Faropenem should be used with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment, and it is not recommended for use in children under the age of 16 years.
