How does it work?
It kills susceptible bacteria by preventing them from forming the protective cell wall they need to survive.

How to take/use it
This medicine is given into a vein by a healthcare professional. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of infection and kidney function; follow the prescribed hospital treatment exactly.

Common side effects
Diarrhoea, nausea, headache, rash, and pain or irritation at the injection site may occur.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about any allergy to doripenem, other carbapenem antibiotics, penicillins or cephalosporins. Extra caution is needed in people with kidney problems or a history of seizures. Seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, severe rash, seizures, or severe or persistent diarrhoea.
