Imax Injection 5 ML combines two active ingredients:

• Imipenem (500 mg): This beta-lactam antibiotic inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It does so by binding to penicillin-binding proteins and deactivating them. These proteins are essential for building the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. By inhibiting these proteins, imipenem prevents proper formation of the cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria and inhibition of its growth.

• Cilastatin (500 mg): It plays a crucial role in making imipenem more effective. It inhibits imipenem metabolism in the kidneys by blocking an enzyme called dehydropeptidase I (DHP-I). This allows imipenem to stay in the body for a longer time, enhancing its antibiotic activity.

• Keep away from direct sun light to maintain the medicine's efficacy.

• Always keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Consumption of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains promotes overall health and may help your body recover faster from bacterial infections for which Imax Injection 5 ML is administered.

• Regularly hydrate yourself. Drinking plenty of fluids can aid in preventing urinary tract infections, which is one of the indications for which Imax Injection 5 ML is used.
