Medical Description

Merotrol Dry powder for injection is an antibiotic used in hospital care for serious bacterial infections affecting the lungs, abdomen, urinary tract, skin, blood or brain. It contains meropenem, a carbapenem antibiotic that acts against susceptible bacteria. Meropenem stops bacteria from building the protective cell wall they need to survive, so the bacteria lose their structure and die. Merotrol injection is prepared and given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, usually when close monitoring is needed for a serious infection.

Uses

  • Severe lung infections: Serious bacterial pneumonia can impair breathing and require hospital treatment; this injection helps control susceptible bacteria under specialist care.
  • Complicated abdominal infections: It helps control deep bacterial infections inside the abdomen when a broad antibacterial medicine is needed.
  • Bacterial meningitis: It treats serious bacterial infection of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord under specialist hospital care.
  • Complicated skin and tissue infections: It helps clear severe bacterial infections involving the skin and underlying tissues.
  • Severe urinary or bloodstream infections: It helps treat serious susceptible infections affecting the urinary tract or blood under close medical supervision.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, meropenem or other carbapenem antibiotics, or have had a severe reaction to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, do not receive Merotrol Dry powder for injection without specialist assessment. Tell your doctor if you have seizures, kidney disease, colitis or previous antibiotic-related diarrhoea. These conditions may need closer monitoring or a different treatment plan.

Side effects

  • Diarrhoea: Antibiotics can alter helpful bowel bacteria and loosen stools. Report severe diarrhoea, blood in stools or painful abdominal cramps promptly.
  • Nausea or vomiting: Meropenem may upset the stomach and reduce fluid intake. Seek help if vomiting prevents you from keeping fluids down.
  • Injection-site reaction: Pain, redness or swelling may occur where the medicine is given. Tell the nurse if the area becomes increasingly painful or swollen.
  • Rash: An itchy or spreading rash may indicate allergy. Get emergency medical help for breathing difficulty or swelling of the face, lips or throat.
  • Thrush, constipation or headache: Changes during treatment may cause these symptoms. Tell the healthcare team if they are severe, persistent or interfere with eating or drinking.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Meropenem should be used during pregnancy only when the expected benefit justifies possible risk.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. The healthcare professional will decide whether treatment or temporary interruption of breastfeeding is appropriate.

Driving

Driving

Merotrol injection may cause dizziness, confusion or seizures. Do not drive or operate machinery if your alertness or coordination is affected.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol if it worsens dizziness, nausea or reduced alertness during treatment.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. The healthcare professional will prepare the dry powder and give it by the route selected for your infection. Tell the doctor about penicillin allergy, seizures, kidney disease or severe diarrhoea. Complete the prescribed course unless the doctor changes it.

Storage and disposal

Merotrol Dry powder for injection should be stored, prepared and disposed of by the hospital or clinic according to product instructions. Do not handle the powder or discard used materials at home.

Quick Tips

  • Tell the healthcare team about penicillin or cephalosporin allergies.
  • Report severe diarrhoea, blood in stools or strong abdominal cramps quickly.
  • Tell the doctor about seizure history or medicines containing valproic acid or divalproex.
  • Attend kidney function and blood tests if your doctor recommends them.
  • Tell the healthcare team if you are due to receive a live bacterial vaccine.
  • Do not drive if dizziness, confusion or reduced alertness occurs.

Dosage

Overdose

If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital. Excess exposure may cause confusion, seizures, severe diarrhoea, rash or other serious reactions.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one. For a missed injection appointment, contact the treating team rather than arranging an extra injection.

How does this medicine work?

Meropenem blocks the process bacteria use to build their protective cell wall. Without a stable wall, susceptible bacteria lose their structure, rupture and die. This broad antibacterial action helps control serious infections caused by several types of bacteria.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Merotrol injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, tell the doctor if you use valproic acid, divalproex sodium, probenecid, other seizure medicines or a live bacterial vaccine such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin. Meropenem can markedly lower valproic acid or divalproex levels, which may increase seizure risk. Probenecid may slow meropenem removal and raise its level. Antibiotics may reduce the response to some live bacterial vaccines, so the timing must be checked.
