What is Meropenem?

Meropenem (mer-oh-PEN-em) is used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. This medicine will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.

How does Meropenem work?

Meropenem is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is related to the penicillin/cephalosporin family of antibiotics. It has the ability to kill a wide range of bacteria. It works by interfering with their ability to form cell walls, and therefore the bacteria break up and die.

It is given by injection or infusion and is generally used to treat severe infections. It may be less likely to cause an allergic reaction to people who have had an allergic reactions to a penicillin in the past.
