About Merotec Xp 1.5 Gm Inj

Merotec Xp 1.5 Gm Inj belongs to the group of medications called anti-infectives used to treat bacterial infections.

Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Merotec Xp 1.5 Gm Inj contains Meropenem and Sulbactam. Meropenem is a type of antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is required for bacterial survival. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and improves Meropenem antibacterial activity.

Merotec Xp 1.5 Gm Inj should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
