✔️ Medicinal Benefits | Novofar 150

Faropenem helps manage susceptible bacterial infections through its antibacterial action. Its potential benefits include:

• Helps control infection symptoms: By reducing susceptible bacterial growth, it may help relieve infection-related symptoms such as fever, pain, and inflammation as the infection improves.
• Activity against selected bacteria: Faropenem has activity against certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including some beta-lactamase-producing organisms. However, not all resistant bacteria are susceptible.
• Oral administration: The tablet formulation allows oral treatment when the medicine is appropriate for the infection, and the patient does not require hospital-based or injectable treatment.

The benefits depend on selecting the right antibiotic for the specific infection and taking it according to the prescribed regimen.

✔️ Directions for Use | Novofar 150

• Swallow the tablet with water, following the instructions provided with the specific product.
• Take each dose at the times recommended by your doctor.
• Follow the product label or your doctor's instructions regarding whether to take the medicine with food.
• Complete the prescribed treatment course unless your doctor advises you to stop or change it.
• If you miss a dose, follow the patient leaflet or ask a pharmacist for advice. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not use leftover antibiotics or share your medicine with another person.

✔️ Drug Interaction

Faropenem may interact with certain medicines, so provide your doctor with a complete list of prescription medicines, non-prescription products, and supplements you use.

• Probenecid: May reduce the elimination of some antibiotics and potentially increase their blood concentrations. The clinical significance for faropenem should be checked against the current product information.
• Valproic acid or sodium valproate: A substantial reduction in valproate levels and an increased risk of seizures are established concerns with certain carbapenem antibiotics. This interaction is not firmly established to the same extent for faropenem, but patients taking valproate should consult their doctor before starting treatment and follow any recommended monitoring.

Do not start, stop, or change any medicine without professional advice.

• Check the blister pack before use and do not take tablets if the packaging is damaged.
• Inform your doctor, dentist, and other healthcare professionals that you are taking Faropenem when relevant to your care.
• Do not share the medicine with others, even if their symptoms appear similar.
• If severe diarrhoea develops during or after treatment, seek medical advice before using over-the-counter antidiarrhoeal medicines.
• Patients with impaired kidney function may require dose adjustment or a different dosing interval.
• Tell your doctor about any previous severe reaction to penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
