Active Ingredient & Action
Imipenem is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Cilastatin acts as a renal dehydropeptidase inhibitor, preventing the metabolism of imipenem in the kidneys and prolonging its antibacterial activity.
