Zaxter 1gm Kit

Product Introduction

Zaxter 1gm Kit is a potent antibiotic treatment designed to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. The active ingredient in this kit is Meropenem, a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic. Meropenem is highly effective against various types of bacterial infections, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Zaxter 1gm Kit comes in a sterile form, ready for intravenous administration, making it ideal for use in hospitals and healthcare settings under the supervision of a medical professional.

Meropenem works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to the death of the bacteria and effectively clears the infection. It is often prescribed for severe or complicated infections that require immediate and robust treatment.

1. Pneumonia: It is effective in treating both community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by susceptible bacterial organisms.
