Frequently asked questions about Meropenem

Q. My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Merant 1000mg Injection, still, she had an episode of seizure. Why?
Any previous history with any other medication should be informed to the doctor before starting your treatment with Merant 1000mg Injection. Medicines like Merant 1000mg Injection can interfere with valproic acid which is used for the treatment of epilepsy, making it less effective.

Serious skin reactions are rare, but some have been reported with the use of Merant 1000mg Injection.
