Meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It belongs to the carbapenem class of drugs and can be used to treat serious infections, such as pneumonia, peritonitis, meningitis, etc. Meropenem is suitable for adults and children and is usually given as an intravenous injection. During the use of Meropenem, liver and kidney function should be closely monitored and your doctor's recommendations should be followed for the entire course of treatment. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and injection site pain. If a severe allergic reaction occurs (such as difficulty breathing, rash, etc.), seek medical attention immediately. In Hong Kong, Meropenem is a prescription drug and requires a prescription from a doctor before it can be purchased. Please use Meropenem strictly according to the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist, and do not change the dosage or stop taking the medicine on your own.
Instructions:
MEROPENEM is an injectable antibiotic that should be given by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic. Usually, injections are given every 6 hours, and the injection speed should be controlled within 15 to 30 minutes. It is best to give the injections at the same time each day to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Dosage Guidelines:
- Adults: The usual starting dose is 1 g every 6 hours. Depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's condition, the doctor may adjust the dose to 2 grams per day or more.
- Children: Dosage will be based on age and weight, usually 25 to 40 mg/kg daily divided into 3 to 4 divided doses. The maximum dose should not exceed 2 grams.
While taking MEROPENEM, patients should avoid eating high-fat foods as this may affect drug absorption. At the same time, patients should avoid activities that require high alertness, such as operating machinery or driving a vehicle, during use. If you have any discomfort or concerns, please inform your healthcare provider immediately.

However, some side effects may occur when taking Meropenem, including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and skin sensitivity. In rare cases, allergic reactions such as redness of the skin, difficulty breathing and swelling of the throat may occur.
