Mero 125mg Injection

Product Overview

Mero 125mg Injection is a carbapenem antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is effective against infections of the lungs, skin, abdomen, urinary tract, blood, and brain (including meningitis). This medicine is not effective against viral infections.

This injection is typically given to hospitalized patients under medical supervision. It is administered either through an intravenous infusion (drip) or directly into a vein. The exact dose and duration depend on the type, location, and severity of the infection. It is important to complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve quickly, as stopping early may cause the infection to return or worsen.

Some patients may experience:

Nausea or vomiting

Headache

Diarrhea or constipation

Rash or itching

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as the body adjusts. Seek medical advice if they persist or worsen. Severe reactions, though rare, may include sepsis, apnea, or shock.

How It Works
