Inpen Injection 500 mg/vial contains Meropenem Trihydrate, a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic used for the treatment of moderate to severe bacterial infections. It provides strong bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic organisms, making it suitable for serious hospital-acquired and community infections.

Meropenem works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to rapid destruction of susceptible bacteria. It is commonly used in cases where infections are resistant to conventional antibiotics or when empiric broad-spectrum coverage is required before culture results are available.

Inpen Injection is administered intravenously under strict medical supervision in hospital or clinical settings. It is widely used in intensive care units and emergency situations due to its fast onset of action and reliable efficacy.

Composition

Each vial contains:

• Meropenem Trihydrate equivalent to Meropenem 500 mg

How It Works

Meropenem inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This prevents the formation of a stable cell wall, causing bacterial cell lysis and death. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against many resistant organisms.
