✔️ Pharmacology

 Imipenem, the active component of Cispenam 750, functions as an antibacterial agent by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. By binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), particularly PBP-2, PBP-1a, and PBP-1b in certain bacterial strains, it disrupts cell wall production, leading to cell lysis and death.

✔️ Dosage of Cispenam 750 IV/IM Injection

The dosage of Imipenem should be tailored to the type and severity of infection, considering the susceptibility of pathogens, renal function, and body weight. It is typically administered intravenously over a specified period based on the recommended dosage guidelines for adults and pediatric patients.
