Meropenem

Meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the carbapenem class of drugs. It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including those affecting the lungs, urinary tract, skin, and abdomen. Meropenem is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic organisms. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death and ultimately clearing the infection. Meropenem is typically administered intravenously and is commonly prescribed for serious infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
