MERREM IV (meropenem) is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic administered intravenously for treatment of serious bacterial infections including meningitis, intra-abdominal infections, and pneumonia. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic pathogens. This is a cornerstone therapy in hospital and critical care settings.
