Imipenem

Uses

Imipenem is used to treat severe bacterial infections. It is effective against infections in various body parts, including the skin and soft tissues, urinary tract, blood, and lungs (pneumonia).

How it Works

How Imipenem works: Imipenem is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming the protective covering (cell wall) necessary for their survival.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Imipenem include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and injection site reactions such as pain, swelling, and redness.

Expert Advice

  • Imipenem is an antibiotic typically administered in a hospital setting for serious infections.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a penicillin allergy or if you are taking any seizure medications before starting treatment with this medication.
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience severe stomach pain or notice blood in your stools.
  • Imipenem is administered via a drip into a vein (intravenous infusion) over 20 to 60 minutes.
  • In severe cases, it may be given slowly over 2 to 3 hours by intravenous infusion.
  • Your doctor may monitor your liver and kidney function during treatment with this medication.
