Merozyme DT Injection

Merozyme DT Injection contains an active component such as Meropenem and EDTA. Meropenem is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It belongs to the class of medications known as carbapenem antibiotics and is often prescribed to treat serious infections, including complicated skin and skin structure infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections, bacterial meningitis, and pneumonia, among others. EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a chelating agent that binds to metal ions and is often used in clinical and laboratory settings. In the context of medication, the combination of Meropenem and EDTA is utilized in certain formulations to enhance the effectiveness of the antibiotic. Adding EDTA might serve various purposes, such as maintaining the stability of the drug or enhancing its activity against certain bacteria.

Individuals with a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to Meropenem or other beta-lactam antibiotics (like penicillins or cephalosporins) and EDTA should avoid its use. This medication should be used with caution or avoided in patients with conditions leading to imbalances in essential minerals like calcium, as it can chelate these minerals, impacting their levels in the body as it contains EDTA. Adjustments in dosing may be necessary for individuals with impaired kidney function as both Meropenem and EDTA are primarily excreted via the kidneys. Elderly individuals, children, and those with specific medical conditions (such as cystic fibrosis or immunocompromised states) may require special dosage adjustments or closer monitoring while using these medications.
