WHAT VABOREM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT VABOREM IS
Vaborem is an antibiotic medicine that contains two active substances:
meropenem and vaborbactam.
•
Meropenem belongs to group of antibiotics called “carbapenems”. It
can kill many types of bacteria
by preventing them from building the protective walls that surround
their cells.
•
Vaborbactam is a “beta lactamase inhibitor”. It blocks the action
of an enzyme that allows some
bacteria to resist the action of meropenem. This helps meropenem kill
some bacteria that it cannot
kill on its own.
WHAT VABOREM IS USED FOR
Vaborem is used in adults to treat certain serious bacterial
infections:
•
of the bladder or kidneys (urinary tract infections)
•
of the stomach and gut (intra-abdominal infections)
•
of the lungs (pneumonia)
It is also used to treat infections
•
of the blood associated with any of the infections mentioned above
•
caused by bacteria that other antibiotics may not be able to kill
