MERONEM 1GM

Meronem Injection is a potent antibiotic that is specifically utilized to treat severe infections affecting various parts of the body, including the skin, lungs, stomach, urinary tract, blood, and even the brain (for instance, conditions like meningitis). It functions by actively killing the bacteria that are responsible for causing these serious problems. However, it is important to note that it will not treat a viral infection.

Meronem Injection is commonly administered to critically ill patients who are admitted to the hospital. This medicine is given either by a drip/infusion or by direct injection into a vein, always under the careful supervision of a doctor or a nurse. The precise dose that you will receive will depend on the specific type of infection you have, its location within your body, and how serious it is. It is essential that you continue taking the injection for as long as you have been prescribed, even if your symptoms begin to improve quickly. If you stop taking it too early, the infection may unfortunately return or even worsen.

Some individuals may develop side effects such as a headache, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, anemia, vomiting, and a rash. These side effects are typically temporary and usually resolve as your body gradually adjusts to the medicine. You should consult your doctor if these side effects bother you or do not go away.

Before commencing treatment with this medicine, you should inform your doctor if you have epilepsy (seizures), any existing liver or kidney problems, or if you are allergic to any antibiotic. While using it, you may be advised to undergo blood tests to monitor your blood cell count and kidney function. This medicine is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding if it has been prescribed by your doctor.
