Frequently asked questions

The duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor based on your health, the type of infection, and your response to the medication.

Does it matter if I miss or stop Imipenem?

Do not stop Imipenem without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to infection recurrence or resistance. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with the next dose as scheduled.
