About

Imipenem + Cilastatin Injection is a combination antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections. Imipenem, a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing a wide range of bacteria. Cilastatin prevents the breakdown of imipenem by kidney enzymes, enhancing its effectiveness. This injection is commonly used to treat infections like pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and septicemia. It is administered in hospital settings under medical supervision, typically for patients with life-threatening or resistant infections. Proper dosage and administration are crucial to prevent antibiotic resistance and ensure effective treatment.
