Lepime 1000mg Injection includes Meropenem, categorized as an antibiotic and is used to treat bacterial contaminations.

Meropenem functions in a similar way to others by disturbing the formation of bacterial cell walls. It accomplishes this by adhering to specific enzymes crucial in the last stages of constructing the cell wall. This disturbance results in structural weaknesses in the wall, causing the self destruction of the bacterial cell and, eventually, the organism's termination. Visualize it as disrupting the creation of a defensive barrier for the bacteria, resulting in its disintegration and demise. Meropenem's effectiveness lies in its interference with this essential bacterial procedure.

Meropenem will be dispensed by your medical provider or nurse; self application should be avoided. Rely on your healthcare professional to deliver the medicine; do not undertake self administration.

Usual side effects of Meropenem may include vomiting, belly discomfort, heartburn, and diarrhea.

Meropenem can cause neurotoxicity, particularly in patients with renal issues. Dosage adjustments may be needed in such scenarios, and observation for neurological symptoms, such as seizures or brain inflammation, is recommended. The use of antibiotics, including Meropenem, may lead to the overgrowth of Clostridioides difficile bacteria,resulting in severe diarrhea and inflammation of the colon. If diarrhea happens during or after the therapy, it should be checked for possible C difficile infection. Meropenem may interact with iron supplements and antacids, reducing its absorption. If iron supplements or antacids are needed, they should be given at least 2 hours before or after Meropenem.

If a dose of Meropenem is overlooked, take it when you recall. If the upcoming dose is imminent, bypass the forgotten one and continue with the usual schedule. Avoid taking two doses simultaneously. Check with your medical professional for advice on handling missed doses effectively.
