Epime 1000 Injection 1 contains cefepime (1000 mg) which acts on your body via the following mechanisms:

• Inhibiting Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefepime works by blocking essential proteins needed for developing and strengthening bacteria's cell walls.

• Causing Bacterial Cell Death: By disrupting the integrity of bacterial cell walls, cefepime causes lysis (the breaking down) of bacterial cells leading to their death.

• Stability Against Beta-Lactamase Enzymes: Unlike some other cephalosporins, cefepime can resist many beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, which could otherwise neutralise antibiotic effects.

• Store Epime 1000 Injection 1 at room temperature.

• Keep it protected from light, which can degrade the medication.

• It's important to keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use, making sure it hasn't passed.

• Since Epime 1000 Injection 1 is used to manage serious bacterial infections, maintaining good hygiene is crucial. This includes regular handwashing and avoiding close contact with people who are ill.

• A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help support your immune system while you're recovering from an infection. Including plenty of fruits and vegetables in your meals can provide the nutrients your body needs to fight off bacteria.
