How it works:
Meropenem stops the formation of bacterial cell walls by attaching to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
This stops bacteria from making cell walls, which kills the cells.

Medicine interaction:
Probenecid raises the amount of meropenem in the blood.
Valproic acid could make it harder to control seizures.
Drugs that are bad for the kidneys Vancomycin with aminoglycosides Higher risk of kidney toxicity
Vaccines that live: measles and Varicella Could make the vaccine less effective
