Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection is used to treat severe bacterial infections of the lungs, heart, bladder, skin, kidneys, bones, joints, blood, stomach and female reproductive organs. Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection may also be used in the management of patients with low white blood cell count who have a fever, which is suspected to be due to bacterial infection. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. 
 
Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cilastatin (dehydropeptidase inhibitor) and Imipenem (antibacterial). Cilastatin inhibits the dehydropeptidase enzyme, which causes the breakdown of Imipenem, thereby helps imipenem to stay active for a longer duration. Imipenem prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Together, Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection helps to treat bacterial infections.
 
Zicerot 1gm/1gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.
