About Merosure SB 1000mg/500mg Injection

Merosure SB 1000mg/500mg Injection is a combination antibiotic medication used to manage and treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections. It is particularly effective in addressing infections in the lungs, urinary tract, and other areas where bacteria may pose a serious health threat.

This medication combines two active ingredients—Meropenem, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Together, they enhance antibacterial effectiveness by not only attacking bacteria directly but also preventing them from becoming resistant.

How It Works

Meropenem targets and destroys the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival.
Sulbactam inhibits the enzymes (beta-lactamases) that bacteria produce to resist antibiotics like Meropenem, making the treatment more effective even against resistant strains.

Indications

Merosure SB Injection is indicated for the treatment of:

Severe lung infections (e.g., pneumonia)
Complicated urinary tract infections
Infections affecting the abdomen, skin, soft tissues, or bloodstream
Gynecological infections
Infections not responsive to other antibiotics

Dosage & Administration

This injection is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional.
Self-administration is not recommended.
It is important to complete the entire prescribed course, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent recurrence and resistance.

Potential Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common reactions may include:

Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea

Skin rash
Redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site

If symptoms worsen or signs of an allergic reaction appear (e.g., swelling, itching, difficulty breathing), seek immediate medical help.
