Iropenem-S Injection contains Meropenem and Sulbactam. Meropenem is an antibiotic that treats the infection by killing the bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase (an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics) inhibitor and prevents the destruction of Meropenem from the bacteria. Iropenem-S Injection has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat bacterial infections such as skin infections, gynecological infections, and intra-abdominal infections.
