How it Works

Meropenem is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from forming the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is needed for them to survive. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme (beta-lactamase) produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics.
