Storage Store dry powder at room temperature between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 to 25 degrees C) away from light and moisture.

Photos Merrem IV Merrem IV Drug Information Merrem IV Merrem IV How To Use Merrem is given by vein (IV), generally every 8 hours, or as directed by your doctor. The length of therapy depends on your condition and response to treatment. You may be switched to an oral antibiotic when you are able to take medication by mouth. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. This is done by giving you the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. You should continue to use antibiotic medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, resulting in a relapse of the infection. Follow all instructions for proper mixing and dilution with the correct IV fluids. Consult your pharmacist. Merrem should be checked visually for particles or discoloration before use. If present, do not use the liquid. Side Effects Nausea, diarrhea, headache or pain/redness at the injection site may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects: stomach pain, black/bloody stools, white patches in the mouth, fever, mental/mood changes, unusually fast/slow/irregular pulse, chest pain, seizures, change in amount of urine, yellowing eyes or skin. An allergic reaction to Merrem is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Precautions Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies (especially to other carbapenems such as imipenem, or penicillin/cephalosporin antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cephalexin), kidney disease, seizures, brain disorders (e.g., brain tumors, meningitis). Use of Merrem for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral or vaginal fungal infection). Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge or other new symptoms. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using Merrem.
