Description:
Meropenem + Sulbactam is a powerful combination of a carbapenem antibiotic (Meropenem) and a beta-lactamase inhibitor (Sulbactam) used to treat complicated and drug-resistant bacterial infections. Meropenem acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Sulbactam extends its effectiveness by neutralizing bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes that cause antibiotic resistance. This injectable formulation is used in ICUs and hospital settings for pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, UTIs, meningitis, sepsis, and other severe infections.

- Effective against multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens
- Treats complicated intra-abdominal, urinary, respiratory, and skin infections
