Frequently asked questions FOR Penem M Duo
Imipenem
Q. Is Imipenem used alone?
No, Imipenem is not to be used alone. It should always be used in combination with Cilastatin, which is a dehydropeptidase I inhibitor. Cilastatin blocks the activity of an enzyme (dehydropeptidase I) that causes breakdown of Imipenem. This ensures that the medicine remains active and continues its work for longer for a longer duration.
Q. Even though Imipenem 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 Imipenem. 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 reactions. 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.
