Description

Meropenem Injection

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced carbapenem antibiotics. We provide high-purity Meropenem Injection (500 mg / 1 g), manufactured in dedicated WHO–GMP certified sterile facilities. This “Critical Care” antibiotic is a mandatory export to intensive care units (ICU), meningitis wards, and government health ministries in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the definitive therapy for severe, life-threatening nosocomial infections where other antibiotics have failed.


Product Overview

This formulation contains Meropenem Trihydrate, a synthetic carbapenem antibiotic with significant stability against dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I).

The “Ultra-Broad Spectrum” Specialist:

  • Mechanism (Cell Wall Destruction): Meropenem penetrates bacterial cells and binds with high affinity to Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs). This inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, causing the bacterial cell wall to weaken and rupture (Cell Lysis).
  • Enzyme Stability: Unlike Imipenem, Meropenem is stable against human renal DHP-I and does not require a co-inhibitor (Cilastatin). It is also highly stable against most Beta-lactamases and Cephalosporinases produced by resistant bacteria.
  • CNS Penetration: It has excellent penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), making it the drug of choice for Bacterial Meningitis caused by Gram-negative bacilli.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

  • Dedicated Facility: Carbapenems are sensitizing agents. To prevent cross-contamination, our Meropenem is manufactured in a Dedicated Block with separate Air Handling Units (AHUs), ensuring zero trace of Penicillins or Cephalosporins.
  • Low Endotoxin Limits: Given its use in meningitis (CNS) and septicemia, we enforce strict bacterial endotoxin limits (< 0.125 EU/mg) to prevent pyrogenic reactions in critically ill patients.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the treatment of severe single or mixed infections:

  • Nosocomial Pneumonia: Including Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP).
  • Bacterial Meningitis: In pediatric (over 3 months) and adult patients.
  • Febrile Neutropenia: Empiric therapy for presumed bacterial infections in cancer patients.
  • Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections: Peritonitis, Appendicitis.
  • Septicemia: Life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Critical Care Specialist):

  • Route: Intravenous (IV) Bolus or Infusion.
  • Standard Infection: 500 mg to 1 g every 8 hours.
  • Meningitis / Febrile Neutropenia: 2 g every 8 hours.
  • Extended Infusion: For MDR organisms (like Pseudomonas), infusing the dose over 3 hours improves efficacy (Time > MIC).
  • Renal Adjustment: Dose reduction is mandatory if Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) is < 50 ml/min.

Safety Warnings (CRITICAL):

  • Seizure Risk: Although lower than Imipenem, seizures can occur, especially in patients with CNS disorders or renal failure.
  • Valproic Acid Interaction: Meropenem rapidly reduces Valproic Acid levels by 60-100%, leading to breakthrough seizures. Contraindicated in patients on Valproate.
  • Allergy: Contraindicated in patients with anaphylactic history to Beta-lactams.
  • C. difficile: Risk of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis.
