Pushkar Pharma is one of the top companies manufacturing Meropenem Injection IP. Meropenem is an antibiotic used to treat acute infections of the skin or stomach.
Among the other important uses of Meropenem injection is the treatment of bacterial meningitis (infection that can cause inflammation of the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord). Pushkar Pharma follows strict manufacturing practices to prepare this medicine.
Meropenem Injection Uses
Meropenem injection uses include the treatment of serious infections such as complicated skin and soft-tissue infections, complicated urinary tract infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections, pneumonia (including hospital-acquired pneumonia), bacterial meningitis, sepsis, and febrile neutropenia in patients whose infections have not responded to other antibiotics — which is also what Meropenem injection is used for in most hospital and ICU settings.
Precautions before taking this medicine.
You may not be able to use meropenem injection if you have ever had a serious allergic reaction to meropenem or to certain related antibiotics, such as:
- Cefaclor, cefdinir, cefixime, and others.
- Amoxicillin and ampicillin, oxacillin and others.
Tell your doctor if you have.
- An allergy to any penicillin antibiotic.
- A head injury or brain tumor.
- Epilepsy or other seizure disorder.
- Kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis).
If you take valproic acid or divalproex sodium — meropenem can lower valproate levels in the blood and reduce its effectiveness against seizures.
How is Meropenem Injection Given? Can It Be Given IM?
It is never given orally or intramuscularly (IM) — meropenem injection use is IV-only.
Meropenem injection is given by a healthcare professional as an intravenous (IV) infusion, typically administered every 8 hours for the duration of the prescribed course. It is never given orally or intramuscularly. The sections below cover how it’s prepared, how long treatment should continue, and how to store and dispose of it safely.
How is Meropenem injection administered?
Meropenem injection use involves administering the medicine as an infusion into a vein (IV) over 15 to 30 minutes — it is not given intramuscularly (IM). A healthcare provider will give the first dose and should teach the patient how to use Meropenem injection correctly for any doses given at home, exactly as directed by the doctor.
How is Meropenem injection prepared before use?
Meropenem must be mixed with a compatible diluent before administration. Once reconstituted, the solution should be clear and free of particles — do not use it if it has changed color or contains visible particles. Follow the specific mixing instructions provided with the medicine, and ask a doctor or pharmacist about anything unclear.
How long should Meropenem injection treatment continue?
Meropenem should be used for the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve quickly. Skipping doses can allow resistant bacteria to develop. It will not treat viral infections such as the flu or a common cold. Long-term use requires periodic medical monitoring through blood tests.
How should Meropenem injection be stored?
Store unopened Meropenem vials at a cool temperature, away from moisture and heat. Once mixed, the solution must be used within a limited number of hours, depending on the diluent used and whether it is kept at room temperature or refrigerated — follow the specific storage instructions provided with the medicine.
How should used needles and vials be disposed of?
Use each needle and syringe only once, then place it immediately in a puncture-proof sharps container. Follow local regulations for disposing of the container, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
What is the composition of Meropenem injection?
Meropenem injection is composed of sterile Meropenem Trihydrate IP, premixed with sodium carbonate as a buffering agent, and supplied as a powder for reconstitution with water for injection. This composition keeps the antibiotic stable as a clear, colourless to pale-yellow solution once mixed, ready for intravenous administration.
What are the available strengths of Meropenem injection?
Meropenem injection IP is manufactured in two standard strengths — 500mg and 1gm (1000mg, or 1 gram) — both formulated as Meropenem Trihydrate IP for intravenous use. Pushkar Pharma produces Meropenem injection IP 1g and Meropenem injection IP 1000mg vials at its GMP and GLP certified facility in Kala-Amb, Himachal Pradesh, supplying hospitals, distributors, and third-party manufacturing partners across India.
What Is the Price of Meropenem Injection in India?
The Meropenem injection price in India typically ranges from ₹400 to over ₹2,900 per vial, depending on strength, brand, and order quantity. The Meropenem injection price 1gm in India generally retails between ₹640 and ₹1,520 per vial across major generic brands, with select branded originator options priced closer to ₹2,900–3,000 per vial — wholesale bulk 1g pricing averages around ₹1,067 per vial. The Meropenem injection 500mg price is lower, typically ₹400 to ₹800 per vial for most generic brands, though branded options can run higher.
What is the standard dose of Meropenem injection?
The typical adult dose of Meropenem injection ranges from 500 mg to 1 g given intravenously every 8 hours, with the exact dose, frequency, and duration decided by the treating doctor based on the type and severity of infection and the patient’s kidney function. Only a qualified healthcare professional should determine or adjust the Meropenem injection dose for any patient.
What happen if I miss a dose?
Use the medicine as soon as possible, but if your next dose is close, skip the missed dose. Do not combine two dosage at once.
What happen when I overdose?
Because Meropenem injection is administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting, overdose is uncommon. If it does occur, seek emergency medical attention immediately — Meropenem can be removed from the body through hemodialysis, which may help manage a significant overdose alongside supportive care and monitoring.
Separately, since Meropenem is an antibiotic, it can sometimes cause diarrhea, which may signal a new infection. Call your doctor if you experience watery or bloody diarrhea, and only use anti-diarrhea medicine if your doctor recommends it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Meropenem be given IM (intramuscularly)?
No. Meropenem injection is given only as an intravenous (IV) infusion — it is not administered intramuscularly or orally.
What does a Meropenem manufacturing plant cost?
This depends on sterile facility class, WHO-GMP/GLP compliance requirements, equipment, and production capacity, so there’s no single figure. If you’re evaluating third-party or contract manufacturing instead of building your own plant, contact Pushkar Pharma (tel:+919355622444) for capacity and bulk pricing.
Where can I find exact Meropenem dosing, dilution, and infusion instructions?
Meropenem dilution volumes, infusion rate, and pediatric dosing are patient- and product-specific, and are set by the treating physician or hospital pharmacy against the approved package insert — not something to follow from a website. If you need the official prescribing information for Pushkar Pharma’s Meropenem Injection IP, contact us directly and we’ll share it.
What does Meropenem mean, and is it the same as Merrem?
Meropenem is the generic (INN) name for this antibiotic; Merrem IV is one of its internationally known brand names. Pushkar Pharma manufactures Meropenem Injection IP under its own brand for hospitals, distributors, and franchise/third-party partners.
Is Meropenem available in combination with Sulbactam?
Meropenem-sulbactam is one combination sometimes used for extended antibacterial coverage. Whether a combination product is appropriate for a given infection is a clinical decision — speak with the prescribing doctor or hospital pharmacist about the specific formulation needed.
