DORIGLEN 500MG INJECTION is part of the antibiotic class known as carbapenems. It is used to treat bacterial infections, including complicated intra-abdominal infections and complicated urinary tract infections (such as pyelonephritis). Bacterial infections are conditions caused by the growth of bacteria or their toxins.
DORIGLEN 500MG INJECTION contains the active ingredient doripenem, which is an antibacterial medication. It functions by blocking bacterial enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), resulting in a bactericidal effect. Therefore, DORIGLEN 500MG INJECTION is effective in treating bacterial infections.
