Germero SB

Here’s a structured product description for Germero SB (Meropenem Sulbactam IV): — ### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION **Germero SB** is a sterile injectable formulation combining Meropenem and Sulbactam, designed to provide potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. This combination is particularly effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamases. ### COMPOSITION Each vial of Germero SB contains: – **Meropenem**: 1 gram (or a specific concentration as standard) – **Sulbactam**: 500 mg (or a specific concentration as standard) – **Excipients**: [e.g., sodium chloride, water for injection, etc.] – **pH Adjuster**: [e.g., hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, if applicable] ### MECHANISM OF ACTION **Meropenem** is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. **Sulbactam** is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Meropenem from degradation by certain beta-lactamase producing bacteria. The combination thus enhances the antibacterial efficacy against resistant organisms. ### DOSAGE The recommended dosage of Germero SB depends on the severity of the infection and the patient’s renal function: – **Adults**: Typically, **1 gram of Meropenem and 500 mg of Sulbactam** infused intravenously every **8 hours**.
