Mero 1g Injection

Product Overview

Mero 1g Injection is a carbapenem antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is effective for infections in the lungs, skin, abdomen, urinary tract, blood, brain (including meningitis), and heart. This medicine does not work for viral infections such as cold or flu.

This injection is usually administered to hospitalized patients under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is given either through an intravenous infusion (drip) or directly into a vein. The dosage and treatment duration depend on the type, severity, and location of the infection. It is important to complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve quickly, to prevent recurrence or worsening of the infection.
