Doctors recommend Meropenem to treat life-threatening infections caused by specific bacteria. Meropenem is an antibiotic that is usually only prescribed in hospitals for severe infections. Meropenem is given intravenously (by drip) for 20 to 60 minutes. Before beginning therapy with this medication, inform your doctor if you have a penicillin allergy or are taking any medications for seizures. Your doctor may monitor your kidney function and blood count during Meropenem treatment. Diarrhoea may develop as a side effect but should stop after the treatment. If it continues or you notice blood in your stools, you should make an appointment with your doctor. Meropenem may cause dizziness and tiredness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or engage in any activity requiring mental concentration until you have evaluated how the medication will affect you. You should notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or already breastfeeding.
