Merocrit 1 gm contains meropenem, a strong antibiotic reserved for severe bacterial infections treated in hospital settings. It cannot be taken at home. A nurse or doctor mixes the powdered medicine in the vial and injects it straight into a vein. Dosing depends on infection severity and kidney health.
Product Information
How It Works
Belonging to the carbapenem class, Merocrit 1 gm Injection stops bacterial wall synthesis. It treats severe cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and stomach or urinary infections that ordinary antibiotics cannot clear. Supplied as a dry powder for reconstitution, dosage adjustments are necessary for patients with kidney problems.
Dosage & How to Use
- ✦ Follow the dosing and timing your doctor sets for Merocrit 1 gm Injection.
- ✦ The vial powder is reconstituted with sterile water shortly before the injection is given.
- ✦ The diluted solution is slowly infused into the vein over roughly 15 to 30 minutes.
- ✦ For patients with reduced kidney clearance, doctors lower unit doses or extend time between infusions.
Side Effects
- ✦ Nausea and loose motions are reported quite often along with headache.
- ✦ At the drip site, pain or swelling is fairly common and usually settles on its own.
- ✦ Rash turns up in some patients. Fever with peeling skin requires medical attention.
- ✦ If diarrhoea becomes severe or bloodstained, a bowel infection may be behind it, and the doctor should know.
Storage
- ✦ Store dry powder vials below 30 degrees Celsius. Keep away from light.
- ✦ Reconstituted liquid vials keep pure potency for up to three hours in indoor air or up to 24 cold hours in fridges.
- ✦ Once reconstituted, the solution is used straight away. Any leftover is discarded.
- ✦ Freezing the prepared solution is not acceptable, and a discoloured vial should not be used.
