This document provides an overview of different classes of antibiotics, including cell wall inhibitors, protein synthesis inhibitors, topoisomerase inhibitors, anti-metabolites, and anti-mycobacterials. It describes common antibiotics within each class, what types of bacteria they cover, and examples of specific antibiotics. It also briefly discusses empiric antimicrobial therapy and treatment for C. difficile infections.
This document discusses the principles of antibiotic therapy, choosing appropriate antibiotics, and administering antibiotics properly. It begins with a brief history of antibiotic use and then defines key terms. The main topics covered are:
1. Determining if an infection is present and evaluating a patient's immune status before deciding on antibiotic therapy.
2. Choosing antibiotics based on identifying the causative organism, determining sensitivity, using narrow-spectrum antibiotics, the least toxic option, and drugs with a proven track record.
3. Administering antibiotics at the proper dose, time interval, and route based on the specific infection and organism. Consistency, combination therapies, and timing of doses are also important principles.
This document summarizes the classes of β-lactam antibiotics, including their mechanisms of action, indications, and side effects.

Rabies is a fatal viral disease affecting the central nervous system caused by the Lyssavirus. It is transmitted primarily through animal bites, especially from rabid dogs which account for 99% of human cases in India. There are three main forms - urban rabies transmitted by domestic dogs, wildlife rabies perpetuated by animals like jackals and foxes, and bat rabies spread by vampire bats. Symptoms include malaise, headache and pain at the bite site followed by neurological symptoms like fear of water and light, increased salivation and spasms. Diagnosis involves identifying a history of animal bite and detecting the virus. Treatment is supportive and vaccination is given as post-exposure prophylaxis. Nursing care focuses on

Rational use of antibiotics & problem of antibiotic resistenseVirendra Hindustani
Rational use of antibiotics and combating antibiotic resistance is important. [1] Unnecessary antibiotic use creates selective pressure for bacteria to become resistant. [2] Fleming warned in 1945 about antibiotic resistance developing from exposure to sublethal drug doses. [3] Factors like environmental conditions, drug properties, patient factors, and prescribing practices influence antibiotic resistance.
This document discusses various categories of drugs including antibiotics, drugs for asthma, steroids, anticonvulsants and cardiac drugs. It provides details on several commonly used antibiotics such as ceftazidime, cefotaxime, penicillin, gentamicin and amikacin. It describes their mechanisms of action, dosages and adverse effects. The document also summarizes inhalers and nebulizers used for asthma including Asthalin respules and Rotahaler as well as dextrose used for hypoglycemia.
- Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is defined as TB resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most potent anti-TB drugs.
- Although MDR-TB has microbial, clinical, and programmatic causes, it is essentially a man-made phenomenon resulting from inadequate treatment.
- Natural resistance occurs due to random mutations during bacterial cell division that confer resistance, and the risk of developing resistance is higher with inadequate or partial treatment that allows drug-resistant mutants to emerge and proliferate.
This document discusses various antibiotics that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. It describes their mechanisms of action, spectra of activity, uses, pharmacokinetics and adverse reactions. Key antibiotics discussed include vancomycin, telavancin, dalbavancin, oritavancin, fosfomycin, cycloserine, linezolid, pristinamycin, polymyxins, mupirocin, fusidic acid, clindamycin and telithromycin. The document provides detailed information on the properties of these important antibiotics used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections.
Piperacillin & tazobactam is effective against nosocomial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has shown success in treating lower respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, complicated urinary tract infections, and fever in neutropenic patients. Piperacillin is an extended spectrum penicillin while tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects piperacillin from degradation, allowing it to be effective against beta-lactamase producing bacteria. Clinical trials demonstrate piperacillin-tazobactam is superior to other antibiotics for various infections and has a good
This document summarizes information about a topical cream containing 1% clotrimazole that is used to treat fungal infections like candidiasis and tinea versicolor. The cream contains clotrimazole and other ingredients and should be gently massaged into affected areas twice daily. Improvement is usually seen within a week, and the cream is contraindicated for those with known sensitivities to the ingredients. While poorly absorbed, it should be used with caution by nursing mothers or pregnant women, especially in the first trimester. Common side effects include skin irritation.
Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming bacterium that can cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. It is transmitted through the fecal-oral route via contaminated surfaces or hands. Antibiotic use disrupts normal gut flora and allows C. difficile to cause infection. Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to life-threatening complications. Treatment involves discontinuing antibiotics if possible and using metronidazole or vancomycin for severe cases. Preventing transmission requires contact precautions, thorough hand hygiene and environmental disinfection.

MEROPENEM POWDER FOR
SOLUTION FOR INJECTION OR
INFUSION
500MG, 1G
MEROKEM
1.NAME OF THE MEDICINAL
PRODUCT
Meropenem 500 mg Powder for Solution for
Injection or Infusion
2. QUALITATIVE AND
QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each vial contains meropenem trihydrate
equivalent to 500 mg anhydrous meropenem.
When reconstituted with 10 ml sterile Water for
Injections, each ml contains 50 mg meropenem.
Excipients(s) with known effect:
Each 500 mg vial contains 104 mg sodium
carbonate which equates to approximately 2.0
mEq of sodium (approximately 45 mg).
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Powder for solution for injection or infusion.
A white to pale yellow powder.
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Meropenem is indicated for the treatment of the
following infections in adults and children over
3 months of age (see sections 4.4 and 5.1):
• Severe pneumonia, including hospital and
ventilator-associated pneumonia.
• Broncho-pulmonary infections in cystic
fibrosis
• Complicated urinary tract infections
• Complicated intra-abdominal infections
• Intra- and post-partum infections
• Complicated skin and soft tissue infections
• Acute bacterial meningitis
Treatment of patients with bacteraemia that
occurs in association with, or is suspected to be
associated with, any of the infections listed
above.
Meropenem may be used in the management of
neutropenic patients with fever that is suspected
to be due to a bacterial infection.
Consideration should be given to official
guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial
agents.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
The tables below provide general
recommendations for dosing.
The dose of Meropenem administered and the
duration of treatment should take into account
the type of infection to be treated, including its
severity, and the clinical response.
A dose of up to 2 g three times daily in adults
and adolescents and a dose of up to 40 mg/kg
three times daily in children may be particularly
appropriate when treating some types of
infections, such as infections due to less
susceptible bacterial species
(e.g. Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa or Acinetobacter spp.), or very
severe infections.
Additional considerations for dosing are needed
when treating patients with renal insufficiency
(see further below).
Adults and Adolescents
Meropenem is usually given by intravenous
infusion over approximately 15 to 30 minutes
(see section 6.2, 6.3 and 6.6).
Infection Dose to be administered
every 8 hours
Severe pneumonia including hospital and
ventilator-associated pneumonia
500 mg or 1 g
Broncho-pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis 2 g
Complicated urinary tract infections 500 mg or 1 g
Complicated intra-abdominal infections 500 mg or 1 g
Intra- and post-partum infections 500 mg or 1 g
Complicated skin and soft tissue infections 500 mg or 1 g
Acute bacterial meningitis 2 g

Alternatively, doses up to 1 g can be given as an
intravenous bolus injection over approximately 5
minutes. There are limited safety data available
to support the administration of a 2 g dose in
adults as an intravenous bolus injection.
Renal impairment
The dose for adults and adolescents should be
adjusted when creatinine clearance is less than
51 ml/min, as shown below. There are limited
data to support the application of these dose
adjustments for a unit dose of 2 g.
Creatinine

Meropenem is cleared by haemodialysis and
haemofiltration. The required dose should be
administered after completion of the
haemodialysis cycle.
There are no established dose recommendations
for patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.
Hepatic impairment
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with
hepatic impairment (see section 4.4).
Dose in elderly patients
No dose adjustment is required for the elderly
with normal renal function or creatinine
clearance values above 50 ml/min.
Paediatric population
Children under 3 months of age
The safety and efficacy of Meropenem in
children under 3 months of age have not been
established and the optimal dose regimen has not
been identified. However, limited
pharmacokinetic data suggest that 20 mg/kg
every 8 hours may be an appropriate regimen
(see section 5.2).
Children from 3 months to 11 years of age and
up to 50 kg body weight
The recommended dose regimens are shown in
the table below:
Infection Dose to be
administered every 8
hours
Severe pneumonia including
hospital and ventilator-
associated pneumonia
10 or 20 mg/kg
Broncho-pulmonary infections in
cystic fibrosis
40 mg/kg
Complicated urinary tract
infections
10 or 20 mg/kg
Complicated intra-abdominal
infections
10 or 20 mg/kg
Complicated skin and soft tissue
infections
10 or 20 mg/kg
Acute bacterial meningitis 40 mg/kg
Management of febrile
neutropenic patients
20 mg/kg
Children over 50 kg body weight
The adult dose should be administered.
There is no experience in children with renal
impairment.
Meropenem is usually given by intravenous
infusion over approximately 15 to 30 minutes
(see sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.6). Alternatively,
meropenem doses of up to 20 mg/kg may be
given as an intravenous bolus over
approximately 5 minutes. There are limited
safety data available to support the
administration of a 40 mg/kg dose in children as
an intravenous bolus injection.
For instructions on reconstitution and dilution of
the medicinal product before administration, see
section 6.6.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to
any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Hypersensitivity to any other carbapenem
antibacterial agent.
Severe hypersensitivity (e.g. anaphylactic
reaction, severe skin reaction) to any other type
of beta-lactam antibacterial agent (e.g.
penicillins or cephalosporins).
4.4 Special Warnings and precautions for
use

Stay connected to all updated on Mer openem Taj Pharmaceuticals Taj pharmaceuticals Hyderabad.
The selection of meropenem to treat an
individual patient should take into account the
appropriateness of using a carbapenem
antibacterial agent based on factors such as
severity of the infection, the prevalence of
resistance to other suitable antibacterial agents
and the risk of selecting for carbapenem-
resistant bacteria.
Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and Acinetobacter spp. resistance
Resistance to penems of Enterobacteriaceae,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp.
varies across the European Union. Prescribers
are advised to take into account the local
prevalence of resistance in these bacteria to
penems.
Hypersensitivity reactions
As with all beta-lactam antibiotics, serious and
occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions
have been reported (see sections 4.3 and 4.8).
Patients who have a history of hypersensitivity
to carbapenems, penicillins or other beta-lactam
antibiotics may also be hypersensitive to
Meropenem. Before initiating therapy with
Meropenem, careful enquiry should be made
concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions
to beta-lactam antibiotics.
If a severe allergic reaction occurs, the
medicinal product should be discontinued and
appropriate measures taken.
Antibiotic-associated colitis
Antibiotic-associated colitis and
pseudomembranous colitis have been reported
with nearly all anti-bacterial agents, including
meropenem, and may range in severity from
mild to life threatening. Therefore, it is
important to consider this diagnosis in patients
who present with diarrhoea during or subsequent
to the administration of meropenem (see section
4.8). Discontinuation of therapy with
meropenem and the administration of specific
treatment for Clostridium difficile should be
considered.
Medicinal products that inhibit peristalsis should
not be given.
Seizures
Seizures have infrequently been reported during
treatment with carbapenems, including
meropenem (see section 4.8).
Hepatic function monitoring
Hepatic function should be closely monitored
during treatment with meropenem due to the risk
of hepatic toxicity (hepatic dysfunction with
cholestasis and cytolysis) (see section 4.8).
Use in patients with liver disease: patients with
pre-existing liver disorders should have liver
function monitored during treatment with
meropenem. There is no dose adjustment
necessary (see section 4.2).
Direct antiglobulin test (Coombs test)
seroconversion
A positive direct or indirect Coombs test may
develop during treatment with meropenem.
Concomitant use with valproic acid/sodium
valproate/valpromide
The concomitant use of meropenem and valproic
acid/sodium valproate/valpromide is not
recommended (see section 4.5).
Paediatric population
Meropenem is licensed for children over 3
months of age. There is no evidence of an
increased risk of any adverse drug reaction in
children based on the limited available data. All
reports received were consistent with events
observed in the adult population.
Meropenem contains sodium.
Meropenem 500 mg Powder for Solution for
Injection or Infusion contains approximately 2.0
mEq of sodium per vial which should be taken
into consideration by patients on a controlled
sodium diet.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal
products and other forms of interaction
No specific medicinal product interaction studies
other than probenecid have been conducted.
Probenecid competes with meropenem for active
tubular secretion and thus inhibits the renal
excretion of meropenem with the effect of

Stay connected to all updated on Mer openem Taj Pharmaceuticals Taj pharmaceuticals Hyderabad.
increasing the elimination half-life and plasma
concentration of meropenem. Caution is
required if probenecid is co-administered with
meropenem.
The potential effect of meropenem on the
protein binding of other medicinal products or
metabolism has not been studied. However, the
protein binding is so low that no interactions
with other compounds would be expected on the
basis of this mechanism.
Decreases in blood levels of valproic acid have
been reported when it is co-administered with
carbapenem agents resulting in 60-100%
decrease in valproic acid levels in about two
days. Due to the rapid onset and the extent of the
decrease, co-administration of valproic
acid/sodium valproate/valpromide with
carbapenem agents is not considered to be
manageable and therefore should be avoided
(see section 4.4).
Oral anti-coagulants
Simultaneous administration of antibiotics with
warfarin may augment its anti-coagulant effects.
There have been many reports of increases in the
anti-coagulant effects of orally administered
anti-coagulant agents, including warfarin in
patients who are concomitantly receiving
antibacterial agents. The risk may vary with the
underlying infection, age and general status of
the patient so that the contribution of the
antibiotic to the increase in INR (international
normalised ratio) is difficult to assess. It is
recommended that the INR should be monitored
frequently during and shortly after co-
administration of antibiotics with an oral anti-
coagulant agent.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
There are no or limited amount of data from the
use of meropenem in pregnant women. Animal
studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful
effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see
section 5.3). As a precautionary measure, it is
preferable to avoid the use of meropenem during
pregnancy.
Breast-feeding
Small amounts of meropenem have been
reported to be excreted in human milk.
Meropenem should not be used in breast-feeding
women unless the potential benefit for the
mother justifies the potential risk to the baby.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use
machines
No studies on the effect on the ability to drive
and use machines have been performed.
However, when driving or operating machines,
it should be taken into account that headache,
paraesthesiae and convulsions have been
reported for meropenem.
4.8 Undesirable Effects
Summary of the safety profile
In a review of 4,872 patients with 5,026
meropenem treatment exposures, meropenem-
related adverse reactions most frequently
reported were diarrhoea (2.3%), rash (1.4%),
nausea/vomiting (1.4%) and injection site
inflammation (1.1%). The most commonly
reported meropenem-related laboratory adverse
events were thrombocytosis (1.6%) and
increased hepatic enzymes (1.5-4.3%).
Adverse reactions listed in the table with a
frequency of “not known” were not observed in
the 2,367 patients who were included in pre-
authorisation clinical studies with intravenous
and intramuscular meropenem but have been
reported during the post-marketing period.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
In the table below, all adverse reactions are
listed by system organ class and frequency: very
common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100 to <1/10);

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after
authorisation of the medicinal product is
important. It allows continued monitoring of the
benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product.
4.9 Overdose
Relative overdose may be possible in patients
with renal impairment if the dose is not adjusted
as described in section 4.2. Limited post-
marketing experience indicates that if adverse
reactions occur following overdose, they are
consistent with the adverse reaction profile
described in section 4.8, are generally mild in
severity and resolve on withdrawal or dose
reduction. Symptomatic treatments should be
considered.
In individuals with normal renal function, rapid
renal elimination will occur. Haemodialysis will
remove meropenem and its metabolite.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL
PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: antibacterials for
systemic use, carbapenems.
Mode of action
Meropenem exerts its bactericidal activity by
inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis in Gram-
positive and Gram-negative bacteria through
binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).

Similar to other beta-lactam antibacterial agents,
the time that meropenem concentrations exceed
the MIC (T>MIC) has been shown to best
correlate with efficacy. In preclinical models
meropenem demonstrated activity when plasma
concentrations exceeded the MIC of the
infecting organisms for approximately 40% of
the dosing interval. This target has not been
established clinically.
Mechanism of resistance
Bacterial resistance to meropenem may result
from: (1) decreased permeability of the outer
membrane of Gram-negative bacteria (due to
diminished production of porins) (2) reduced
affinity of the target PBPs (3) increased
expression of efflux pump components, and (4)
production of beta-lactamases that can hydrolyse
carbapenems.
Localised clusters of infections due to
carbapenem-resistant bacteria have been
reported in the European Union.
There is no target-based cross-resistance
between meropenem and agents of the
quinolone, aminoglycoside, macrolide and
tetracycline classes. However, bacteria may
exhibit resistance to more than one class of
antibacterial agents when the mechanism
involved includes impermeability and/or an
efflux pump(s).
Breakpoints
European Committee on Antimicrobial
Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical
breakpoints for MIC testing are presented below.
EUCAST clinical MIC breakpoints for
meropenem (2013-02-11, v 3.1)
1
Meropenem breakpoints for Streptococcus
pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in
meningitis are 0.25 mg/L (Susceptible) and 1
mg/L (Resistant).
2
Isolates with MIC values above the susceptible
breakpoint are very rare or not yet reported. The
identification and antimicrobial susceptibility
tests on any such isolate must be repeated and if
the result is confirmed the isolate sent to a
reference laboratory. Until there is evidence
regarding clinical response for confirmed
isolates with MIC values above the current
resistant breakpoint they should be reported as
resistant.
3
Susceptibility of staphylococci to carbapenems
is inferred from the cefoxitin susceptibility.
4
Breakpoints relate to meningitis only.
5
Non-species related breakpoints have been
determined using PK/PD data and are
independent of MIC distributions of specific
species. They are for use only for organisms that
do not have specific breakpoints. Non species
related breakpoints are based on the following
dosages: EUCAST breakpoints apply to
meropenem 1000 mg x 3 daily administered
intravenously over 30 minutes as the lowest
dose. 2 g x 3 daily was taken into consideration
for severe infections and in setting the I/R
breakpoint.
6
The beta-lactam susceptibility of streptococcus
groups A, B, C and G is inferred from the
penicillin susceptibility.
-- = Susceptibility testing not recommended as
the species is a poor target for therapy with the
medicinal product.Isolates may be reported as R
without prior testing.
The prevalence of acquired resistance may vary
geographically and with time for selected
species and local information on resistance is
desirable, particularly when treating severe
infections. As necessary, expert advice should
be sought when the local prevalence of
resistance is such that the utility of the agent in
at least some types of infections is questionable.

derived from clinical experience and therapeutic
guidelines.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
In healthy subjects the mean plasma half-life is
approximately 1 hour; the mean volume of
distribution is approximately 0.25 l/kg (11-27 l)
and the mean clearance is 287 ml/min at 250 mg
falling to 205 ml/min at 2 g. Doses of 500, 1000
and 2000 mg doses infused over 30 minutes give
mean Cmax values of approximately 23, 49 and
115 µg/ml respectively, corresponding AUC
values were 39.3, 62.3 and 153 µg.h/ml. After
infusion over 5 minutes Cmax values are 52 and
112 µg/ml after 500 and 1000 mg doses
respectively. When multiple doses are
administered 8-hourly to subjects with normal
renal function, accumulation of meropenem does
not occur.

Stay connected to all updated on Mer openem Taj Pharmaceuticals Taj pharmaceuticals Hyderabad.
A study of 12 patients administered meropenem
1000 mg 8 hourly post-surgically for intra-
abdominal infections showed a comparable
Cmax and half-life to normal subjects but a
greater volume of distribution 27 l.
Distribution
The average plasma protein binding of
meropenem was approximately 2% and was
independent of concentration. After rapid
administration (5 minutes or less) the
pharmacokinetics are biexponential but this is
much less evident after 30 minutes infusion.
Meropenem has been shown to penetrate well
into several body fluids and tissues: including
lung, bronchial secretions, bile, cerebrospinal
fluid, gynaecological tissues, skin, fascia,
muscle, and peritoneal exudates.
Metabolism
Meropenem is metabolised by hydrolysis of the
beta-lactam ring generating a microbiologically
inactive metabolite. In vitro meropenem shows
reduced susceptibility to hydrolysis by human
dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I) compared to
imipenem and there is no requirement to co-
administer a DHP-I inhibitor.
Elimination
Meropenem is primarily excreted unchanged by
the kidneys; approximately 70% (50-75%) of the
dose is excreted unchanged within 12 hours. A
further 28% is recovered as the
microbiologically inactive metabolite. Faecal
elimination represents only approximately 2% of
the dose. The measured renal clearance and the
effect of probenecid show that meropenem
undergoes both filtration and tubular secretion.
Renal insufficiency
Renal impairment results in higher plasma AUC
and longer half-life for meropenem. There were
AUC increases of 2.4 fold in patients with
moderate impairment (CrCL 33-74 ml/min), 5
fold in severe impairment (CrCL 4-23 ml/min)
and 10 fold in haemodialysis patients (CrCL <2
ml/min) when compared to healthy subjects
(CrCL >80 ml/min). The AUC of the
microbiologically inactive ring opened
metabolite was also considerably increased in
patients with renal impairment. Dose adjustment
is recommended for patients with moderate and
severe renal impairment (see section 4.2).
Meropenem is cleared by haemodialysis with
clearance during haemodialysis being
approximately 4 times higher that in anuric
patients.
Hepatic insufficiency
A study in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis
shows no effect of liver disease on the
pharmacokinetics of meropenem after repeated
doses.
Adult patients
Pharmacokinetic studies performed in patients
have not shown significant pharmacokinetic
differences versus healthy subjects with
equivalent renal function. A population model
developed from data in 79 patients with intra-
abdominal infection or pneumonia, showed a
dependence of the central volume on weight and
the clearance on creatinine clearance and age.
Paediatric population
The pharmacokinetics in infants and children
with infection at doses of 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg
showed Cmax values approximating to those in
adults following 500, 1000 and 2000 mg doses,
respectively. Comparison showed consistent
pharmacokinetics between the doses and half-
lives similar to those observed in adults in all but
the youngest subjects (<6 months t1/2 1.6
hours). The mean meropenem clearance values
were 5.8 ml/min/kg (6-12 years), 6.2 ml/min/kg
(2-5 years), 5.3 ml/min/kg (6-23 months) and
4.3 ml/min/kg (2-5 months). Approximately
60% of the dose is excreted in urine over 12
hours as meropenem with a further 12% as
metabolite. Meropenem concentrations in the
CSF of children with meningitis are
approximately 20% of concurrent plasma levels
although there is significant inter-individual
variability.
The pharmacokinetics of meropenem in
neonates requiring anti-infective treatment
showed greater clearance in neonates with
higher chronological or gestational age with an
overall average half-life of 2.9 hours. Monte

Carlo simulation based on a population PK
model showed that a dose regimen of 20 mg/kg
8 hourly achieved 60% T>MIC for P.
aeruginosa in 95% of pre-term and 91% of full
term neonates.
Elderly
Pharmacokinetic studies in healthy elderly
subjects (65-80 years) have shown a reduction in
plasma clearance, which correlated with age-
associated reduction in creatinine clearance, and
a smaller reduction in non-renal clearance. No
dose adjustment is required in elderly patients,
except in cases of moderate to severe renal
impairment (see section 4.2).
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Animal studies indicate that meropenem is well
tolerated by the kidney. Histological evidence of
renal tubular damage was seen in mice and dogs
only at doses of 2000 mg/kg and above after a
single administration and above and in monkeys
at 500 mg/kg in a 7-day study.
Meropenem is generally well tolerated by the
central nervous system. Effects were seen in
acute toxicity studies in rodent at doses
exceeding 1000 mg/kg.
The IV LD50 of meropenem in rodents is greater
than 2000 mg/kg.
In repeat dose studies of up to 6 months duration
only minor effects were seen including a
decrease in red cell parameters in dogs.
There was no evidence of mutagenic potential in
a conventional test battery and no evidence of
reproductive toxicity including teratogenic
potential in studies in rats up to 750 mg/kg and
in monkeys up to 360 mg/kg.
There was no evidence of increased sensitivity
to meropenem in juveniles compared to adult
animals. The intravenous formulation was well
tolerated in animal studies.
The sole metabolite of meropenem had a similar
profile of toxicity in animal studies.
