Product Overview
About ІМІПЕНЕМ ТА ЦИЛАСТАТИН
ІМІПЕНЕМ ТА ЦИЛАСТАТИН is a prescription antibiotic combination containing imipenem and cilastatin, used to treat severe bacterial infections in adults and pediatric patients. This medication belongs to the carbapenem class of antibiotics and is specifically formulated to provide broad-spectrum coverage against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Effective treatment for complicated skin and skin structure infections
- Indicated for complicated intra-abdominal infections including appendicitis and diverticulitis
- Used for nosocomial pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia
Active Ingredient & Action
The active ingredients imipenem and cilastatin work synergistically to combat bacterial infections. Imipenem is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Cilastatin acts as a renal dehydropeptidase inhibitor, preventing the rapid degradation of imipenem by the kidneys, thereby increasing its urinary concentration and therapeutic efficacy while reducing potential nephrotoxicity.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any drug allergies, particularly to penicillins or other beta-lactam antibiotics. This medication may cause side effects including gastrointestinal disturbances, injection site reactions, and rare but serious allergic reactions. Complete the full prescribed course of treatment even if symptoms improve. Store at recommended temperatures and keep out of reach of children.
