Indications:
Meronem is indicated for the treatment of the following infections in adults and children aged 3 months and older:
• Severe pneumonia, including hospital and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
• Broncho-pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis
• Complicated urinary tract infections
• Complicated intra-abdominal infections
• Intra- and post-partum infections
• Complicated skin and soft tissue infections
• Acute bacterial meningitis
Meronem may be used in the management of neutropenic patients with fever that is suspected to be due to a bacterial infection.
Treatment of patients with bacteraemia that occurs in association with, or is suspected to be associated with, any of the infections listed above.
Dosage and Administration:
The dose of meropenem administered and the duration of treatment should take into account the type of infection to be treated, including its severity, and the clinical response.
A dose of up to 2 g three times daily in adults and adolescents and a dose of up to 40 mg/kg three times daily in children may be particularly appropriate when treating some types of infections, such as infections due to less susceptible bacterial species (e.g. Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp.), or very severe infections.
Additional considerations for dosing are needed when treating patients with renal insufficiency .

Meropenem is usually given by intravenous infusion over approximately 15 to 30 minutes. For intravenous infusion meropenem vials may be directly constituted with 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% dextrose solutions for infusion.
Injection
Meropenem to be used for bolus intravenous injection should be constituted with sterile water for injection.
Storage instructions:
