Merosure 1gm Injection

About Merosure 1gm Injection

Merosure 1gm Injection is a powerful antibiotic prescribed for the treatment of serious bacterial infections. It is effective against infections in various parts of the body, including the brain (such as meningitis), lungs (pneumonia), abdomen, urinary tract, blood, skin, and soft tissues. It works by eliminating bacteria that are responsible for causing these infections. However, it is not effective against viral illnesses.

This medication is generally used in hospital settings for critically ill patients. It is administered intravenously—either through a slow drip (infusion) or a direct injection—by a qualified healthcare professional. The exact dosage and duration depend on the nature, location, and severity of the infection. Completing the full course of treatment is essential, even if you start feeling better early, to prevent the infection from returning or becoming resistant.

Medical Uses

• Treatment of complicated bacterial infections

• Infections of the brain, such as meningitis

• Severe respiratory tract infections

• Abdominal and urinary tract infections

• Bloodstream infections (sepsis)

• Skin and soft tissue infections

How It Works

Merosure 1gm Injection contains Meropenem, a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic. It kills bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis, which is vital for their survival. This action prevents the bacteria from growing or spreading, helping to clear the infection effectively.
