MEROPACE 500 MG INJECTION 10 ML contains meropenem (500 mg) as its active ingredient with a specific mechanism of action:

• Inhibits Synthesis of Bacterial Cell Wall: Meropenem works by binding to and deactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall. These proteins are essential for cell wall synthesis; hence, their inactivation disrupts this process.

• Causes Bacterial Cell Death: Following disruption of cell wall synthesis due to inactivated PBPs, the bacterial cells cannot maintain their structure, leading to cell death. This action is particularly potent against a broad spectrum of bacteria.

• Store MEROPACE 500 MG INJECTION 10 ML at room temperature, ideally between 15 and 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Be sure to keep it out of the reach and sight of children.

• Stay well-hydrated, especially if you're managing a urinary tract infection. This can help your body flush out bacteria.

• If you're dealing with a respiratory tract infection, avoid smoking or being around second-hand smoke, as this can aggravate your condition.
