Recarbrio is a powerful antibiotic medication that combines three active ingredients – imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam. This combination is specifically designed to treat serious bacterial infections in patients who have limited treatment options. Imipenem works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while cilastatin helps to prevent the breakdown of imipenem in the kidneys. Relebactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps to enhance the effectiveness of imipenem against certain resistant bacteria.

This medication is typically used to treat complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis, as well as complicated intra-abdominal infections. It is important to note that Recarbrio should only be used when other antibiotics have failed or are not suitable for the patient’s condition. It is not intended for use in mild or moderate infections that can be treated with less potent antibiotics.

As with any medication, there are potential side effects associated with Recarbrio. These may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and allergic reactions. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your healthcare provider before starting this medication.

It is crucial to take Recarbrio exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcome. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication early, even if you start to feel better. This can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and make future infections more difficult to treat.
