Faronem ER Tablet contains faropenem (300 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Faropenem works by binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), enzymes required for the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall. This weakening of the cell wall leads to cell lysis and death.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Faropenem has activity against a wide range of bacteria, including gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic pathogens.

• Maintains Therapeutic Levels: The extended-release formulation allows faropenem to stay longer in the body above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for target organisms, ensuring sustained effectiveness against bacteria.

• Store Faronem ER Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from moisture and light.

• Keep the tablet in a safe place out of the reach of children.

• Always check and use this medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're managing respiratory tract infections (RTIs) with Faronem ER Tablet, avoid exposure to pollutants and allergens. This could mean staying indoors on smoggy days or wearing a mask in dusty environments.
