Meropenem+sulbactam
Meropenem+sulbactam belongs to the group of medications called anti-infectives used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Meropenem+sulbactam contains Meropenem and Sulbactam. Meropenem is a type of antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is required for bacterial survival. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and improves Meropenem antibacterial activity.

Meropenem+sulbactam should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The dose depends on the type of infection you have, where the infection is in the body, and how severe the infection is. Your doctor will decide on the dose that you need.
