Meropenem is used for the treatment of intra-abdominal infections, including complicated appendicitis and peritonitis, caused by susceptible bacteria. The drug may be used as monotherapy for the treatment of intra-abdominal infections caused by susceptible viridans streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteroides fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, or Peptostreptococcus. Because meropenem has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, the drug may be used empirically to treat intra-abdominal infections before identification of the causative organism. /Included in US product labeling/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 186
Meropenem is used for the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including beta-lactamase-producing strains), or Neisseria meningitidis in children 3 months of age and older. /Included in US product labeling/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 187
The drug also is used in the treatment of meningitis in adults. /NOT included in US product labeling/

Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) reported with beta-lactams. If hypersensitivity occurs, discontinue meropenem and institute appropriate therapy as indicated (e.g., epinephrine, corticosteroids, and maintenance of an adequate airway and oxygen).
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 189
Adverse effects reported in 1% or more of patients receiving meropenem including GI effects (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation), local reactions (pain and inflammation at injection site, phlebitis/thrombophlebitis), headache, anemia, rash, pruritus, sepsis, apnea, shock, glossitis, and oral candidiasis.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 190
Seizures and other adverse CNS effects reported during meropenem therapy, especially in those with underlying CNS disorders (e.g., brain lesions, history of seizures), bacterial meningitis, or compromised renal function. Do not exceed recommended dosage, especially in those with known factors that predispose to seizures. Anticonvulsant therapy should be continued in those with known seizure disorders. If focal tremors, myoclonus, or seizures occur, evaluate the patient neurologically, initiate anticonvulsant therapy if necessary, and determine whether meropenem dosage should be decreased or the drug discontinued.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 189
Partial cross-allergenicity among beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and other beta-lactams. Prior to initiation of meropenem therapy, make careful inquiry concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to meropenem, cephalosporins, penicillins, or other drugs.

For use as single agent therapy for the treatment of the following infections when caused by susceptible isolates of the designated microorganisms: complicated skin and skin structure infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (b-lactamase and non-b-lactamase producing, methicillin-susceptible isolates only), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, viridans group streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis (excluding vancomycin-resistant isolates), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis and Peptostreptococcus species; complicated appendicitis and peritonitis caused by viridans group streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteroides fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, and Peptostreptococcus species. Also for use in the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (b-lactamase and non-b-lactamase-producing isolates), and Neisseria meningitidis.
FDA Label
Treatment of bacterial sepsis, Treatment of bacterial meningitis
Meropenem is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic. It is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Meropenem exerts its action by penetrating bacterial cells readily and interfering with the synthesis of vital cell wall components, which leads to cell death.
Anti-Bacterial Agents
Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)

Route of Elimination
Approximately 70% of the intravenously administered dose is recovered as unchanged meropenem in the urine over 12 hours, after which little further urinary excretion is detectable.
Approximately 70% of the intravenously administered dose is recovered as unchanged meropenem in the urine over 12 hours, after which little further urinary excretion is detectable. Urinary concentrations of meropenem in excess of 10 ug/mL are maintained for up to 5 hours after a 500 mg dose.

Meropenem is distributed into most body tissues and fluids, including bronchial mucosa, lung, bile, gynecologic tissue (endometrium, myometrium, ovary, cervix, fallopian tube), muscle, heart valves, skin, interstitial and peritoneal fluid, and CSF. Plasma protein binding is approximately 2%. The drug is partially metabolized to at least one microbiologically inactive metabolite. About 70% of an IV dose is eliminated in urine as unchanged drug by tubular secretion and glomerular filtration.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 190
At the end of a 30 minute intravenous infusion of a single dose of Meropenem for injection (IV) in healthy volunteers, mean peak plasma concentrations of meropenem are approximately 23 ug/mL (range 14-26) for the 500 mg dose and 49 ug/mL (range 39-58) for the 1 g dose. A 5-minute intravenous bolus injection of Meropenem for injection (IV) in healthy volunteers results in mean peak plasma concentrations of approximately 45 ug/mL (range 18-65) for the 500 mg dose and 112 ug/mL (range 83-140) for the 1 g dose. Following intravenous doses of 500 mg, mean plasma concentrations of meropenem usually decline to approximately 1 ug/mL at 6 hours after administration. No accumulation of meropenem in plasma was observed with regimens using 500 mg administered every 8 hours or 1 g administered every 6 hours in healthy volunteers with normal renal function.

Approximately 1 hour in adults and children 2 years of age and older with normal renal function. Approximately 1.5 hours in children 3 months to 2 years of age.
The plasma half-life of meropenem is approximately 1 hour in adults with normal renal function and 1.5 hours in children 3 months to 2 years of age. Plasma half-life is increased and clearance of the drug is decreased in patients with renal impairment.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 190
The bactericidal activity of meropenem results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Meropenem readily penetrates the cell wall of most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to reach penicillin-binding- protein (PBP) targets. Its strongest affinities are toward PBPs 2, 3 and 4 of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and PBPs 1, 2 and 4 of Staphylococcus aureus.

Bactericidal concentrations (defined as a 3 log10 reduction in cell counts within 12 to 24 hours) are typically 1-2 times the bacteriostatic concentrations of meropenem, with the exception of Listeria monocytogenes, against which lethal activity is not observed.
