Frequently asked questions FOR Merant TZ
Meropenem
Q. My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Meropenem, still, she had an episode of seizure. Why?
Any previous history with any other medication should be informed to the doctor before starting your treatment with Meropenem. Medicines like Meropenem can interfere with valproic acid which is used for the treatment of epilepsy, making it less effective. So, the reason for the recent episode of seizure could be the result of such drug interaction. Generally, in cases like these, the doctor prescribes a different medicine.
Q. Even though Meropenem is used for skin infections, can it cause any skin-related problems?
Serious skin reactions are rare, but some have been reported with the use of Meropenem. Therefore, before starting the treatment inform your doctor if you are allergic to any medicine or antibiotic. Serious skin reactions are a type of allergic reaction. But, if not properly managed then they can endanger life. So, if you notice any rash along with fever or peeling of the skin, discontinue the medication and inform your doctor.
Q. Is Meropenem a strong antibiotic? Which infections does it treat?
Meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which means it can treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is used to treat infections affecting the lungs (pneumonia) and complicated infections of the urinary tract, abdomen, and skin and soft tissue infections. Along with that, it is also helpful in treating bacterial infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and infections that occur during or after delivery.
