What is the best way to take this medication?
Meropenem injection (Meroneon Injection)is available as a powder that must be mixed with liquid before being given intravenously (into a vein). It’s normally administered every eight hours or so. Treatment duration is determined by your overall health, the sort of infection you have, and how well you respond to therapy. The length of time you should use meropenem injection will be determined by your doctor. After your health has improved, your doctor may move you to a different antibiotic that you can take orally to finish your treatment.
You can have a meropenem injection in a hospital or administer it yourself at home. Your healthcare practitioner will show you how to use meropenem injection if you are receiving it at home.
