Invanz 1gm Injection

Invanz 1gm injection is a carbapenem antibiotic containing ertapenem as its active ingredient. It is used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including skin, lung, urinary, and gynaecological infections. This injection is also used for prevention of surgical site infections.

Invanz 1gm injection is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to other beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins or cephalosporins. The drug should be used cautiously or avoided in such patients.

Ertapenem can reduce serum concentrations of valproic acid, a medication used to treat seizures and certain mental health conditions, potentially leading to decreased effectiveness of valproic acid. If patients are taking valproic acid, their healthcare provider may need to adjust the dose or consider alternative treatments.

Use of this medicine has been associated with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) and colitis, including severe antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Patients experiencing severe or bloody stools while taking this injection should inform their doctor.

Before taking Invanz 1gm injection, patients should discuss their medical history with their doctor. They should inform their doctor if they have allergic conditions, kidney disease, or if they are on a salt-controlled diet, as these factors may require special consideration or monitoring during treatment.

Patients who suspect pregnancy or plan to have a baby should inform their doctor about all medications they have been taking recently, including herbal products and supplements.
