Cilastatin
Uses of Cilastatin
Cilastatin is primarily used alongside imipenem to manage moderate to severe bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and intra-abdominal infections. It helps extend imipenem’s activity and allows for more effective treatment of resistant bacteria. Buy Cilastatin online in Malaysia to support trusted antibiotic therapies.
How Cilastatin Works
Cilastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the kidneys called dehydropeptidase-I, which breaks down the antibiotic imipenem. This action preserves imipenem levels in the body, allowing it to effectively kill bacteria.
Side Effects of Cilastatin
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Rash or skin irritation
- Headache
- Pain or redness at the injection site
- Low blood pressure (rare)
- Seizures (in rare cases when used with imipenem)
Information About Cilastatin
Cilastatin is a pharmaceutical compound commonly used in combination with the antibiotic imipenem to help treat serious bacterial infections. It belongs to a class of medications known as renal dehydropeptidase inhibitors, which work by preventing the breakdown of imipenem in the kidneys, thereby enhancing its effectiveness. Cilastatin itself does not have antibacterial properties but plays a critical role in protecting imipenem from being inactivated.
