Medicinal Benefits of Imp-CI 500mg/500mg Injection
CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cilastatin (dehydropeptidase inhibitor) and Imipenem (antibacterial). CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM is used to treat severe bacterial infections of the lungs, heart, bladder, skin, kidneys, bones, joints, blood, stomach, and female reproductive organs. CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM may also be used in the management of patients with low white blood cell count who have a fever, which is suspected to be due to bacterial infection. Cilastatin inhibits the dehydropeptidase enzyme, which causes the breakdown of Imipenem, thereby helps imipenem to stay active for a longer duration. Imipenem prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Together, CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM helps to treat bacterial infections. Imipenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
Directions for Use
CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Depending upon your condition and severity of the infection, your doctor will decide the dose and duration of CILASTATIN+IMIPENEM.
