NexiNem 1000 mg contains Meropenem, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the carbapenem class. It is used in hospitals to treat serious and complicated bacterial infections, especially when other antibiotics are not effective.

Mechanism of Action:

Meropenem works by blocking the formation of bacterial cell walls. Without a stable cell wall, bacteria cannot survive or multiply. This leads to the breakdown and death of the bacteria. It is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those that are resistant to many other antibiotics.

NexiNem is used to treat various serious infections such as:

• Infections of the lungs including pneumonia

• Intra-abdominal infections like appendicitis or peritonitis

• Complicated skin and soft tissue infections
