Imefic Plus 500 Injection

Question 1

How does Imefic Plus 500 Injection work?

Accepted Answer

Imefic Plus 500 Injection is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cilastatin and Imipenem. Cilastatin inhibits the dehydropeptidase enzyme, which causes the breakdown of Imipenem, thereby helps imipenem to stay active for a longer duration. Imipenem prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Together, Imefic Plus 500 Injection helps to treat bacterial infections.

Does Imefic Plus 500 Injection cause diarrhoea?
