use
The calculation of the total daily dose of Imipenem + Cilastatin should be based on the severity of the infection and distributed over several applications in equal doses, taking into account the degree of sensitivity of one or more pathogenic microorganisms, kidney function and body weight.
Dosage regimen for adult patients with normal renal function
The doses shown in Table 1 are calculated for patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance greater than 70 ml/min/1.73 m2) and body weight ≥70 kg. In patients with creatinine clearance <70 ml /min / 1.73 m 2 (see Table 2) and / or body weight less than 70 kg (see Table 3), it is necessary to reduce the dose of the drug. It is especially important to reduce the dose depending on body weight in those patients who have a weight significantly below 70 kg and/or have moderate or severe renal insufficiency. The average therapeutic daily dose is 1-2 g of imipenem, divided into 3-4 applications (see Table 1). For the treatment of moderate infections, the drug can also be used in a dose of 1 g twice a day.
In case of infections caused by less sensitive microorganisms, the daily dose of the drug for intravenous infusion can be increased to a maximum of 4 g (imipenem) per day or 50 mg/ kg per day, depending on which dose is lower. Each dose of Imipenem + Cilastatin for intravenous infusion, less than or equal to 500 mg, should be administered intravenously for 20-30 minutes. Each dose over 500 mg should be administered intravenously for 40-60 minutes. Patients who experience nausea during infusion should slow down the rate of administration of the drug.

Package leaflet
The drug Imipenem + Cilastatin consists of two components: 1) imipenem, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, a thienamycin derivative belonging to the carbapenem group; 2) sodium cilastatin, an enzyme that inhibits imipenem metabolism in the kidneys and significantly increases the concentration of unchanged imipenem in the urinary tract.
Imipenem inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and has a bactericidal effect against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.
Cilastin does not have its own antibacterial activity, does not inhibit the beta-lactamase of bacteria.
The drug is used to treat severe infections caused by microorganisms sensitive to it, as well as for empirical therapy of the infectious process even before the identification of its bacterial pathogens.

Overdose symptoms correspond to the profile of adverse reactions and may include seizures, confusion, tremor, nausea, vomiting, decreased blood pressure, and bradycardia.
There is no specific information on the treatment of overdose with Imipenem+ Cilastatin. Imipenem + cilastatin sodium is eliminated during hemodialysis, but the effectiveness of this procedure in case of drug overdose is unknown.
In clinical trials, Imipenem+[Cilastatin] was administered intravenously to 1,723 patients. The most common systemic side effects likely associated with the use of the drug were nausea (2.0%), diarrhea (1.8%), vomiting (1.5%), rash (0.9%), fever (0.5%), decreased blood pressure (0.4%), seizures (0.4%) (see section "Special instructions"), dizziness (0.3%), itching (0.3%), urticaria (0.2%), drowsiness (0.2%). The most common local side effects were phlebitis/thrombophlebitis (3.1%), pain at the injection site (0.7%), erythema at the injection site (0.4%) and scarring of the vein wall (0.2%). Increased activity of serum transaminases and alkaline phosphatase has also been frequently reported.
Children (older than 3 months)
In a clinical trial involving 178 children older than 3 months, the side effects observed were comparable to the side effects reported in adult patients.
- Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug; hypersensitivity to other carbapenems.
- Severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylactic reactions, severe skin reactions) to any other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillins or cephalosporins).
- Children under 3 months old.
- Children with impaired renal function (serum creatinine> 2 mg/dl).
- Patients with creatinine clearance (creatinine clearance) less than 5 ml/min/1.73 m2 (except in cases where hemodialysis is performed no later than 48 hours after the infusion of the drug)
The drug is pharmaceutically incompatible with lactic acid (lactate) and should not be prepared on the basis of solvents containing it. However, the drug can be administered intravenously through the same infusion system as the lactate-containing solution.
Concomitant use with ganciclovir increases the risk of generalized seizures. These drugs should not be used simultaneously, except in cases where the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Concomitant use with probenecid is accompanied by a minimal increase in the plasma concentration and half-life of imipenem, and therefore the simultaneous use of probenecid and the drug is not recommended.When using the drug with valproic acid or sodium divalproate, the plasma concentration of valproic acid decreases. As a result of this interaction, the concentration of valproic acid may fall below the therapeutic level, which increases the risk of seizures. Although the mechanism of interaction is unknown, in vitro data and animal studies suggest that carbapenems can inhibit hydrolysis, as a result of which the glucuronide metabolite of valproic acid (VPA-g) is converted back to valproic acid, which leads to a decrease in the concentration of valproic acid in blood plasma (see section "Special instructions").
The simultaneous use of antibacterial drugs with warfarin may enhance its anticoagulant effect. There are numerous reports of an increased anticoagulant effect of oral anticoagulants, including warfarin, in patients taking antibacterial drugs at the same time.The risk may vary depending on the infectious agent, age, and general condition of the patient, so it is difficult to assess the effect of antibiotics on increasing the international normalized ratio (INR). It is recommended to periodically monitor the INR value during and immediately after the simultaneous use of antibacterial drugs with oral anticoagulants.
The drug should not be mixed in the same syringe with other antibiotics, while simultaneous isolated administration with other antibiotics (aminoglycosides) is allowed.
