Indications

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Doripenem and other antibacterial drugs, Doripenem should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting and modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections: Doripenem injection is indicated as a single agent for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides uniformis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus and Peptostreptococcus micros.

Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, Including Pyelonephritis: Doripenem injection is indicated as a single agent for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis caused by Escherichia coli including cases with concurrent bacteremia, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.

Pharmacology

Doripenem is a synthetic broad-spectrum carbapenem β-lactam antibiotic with potent in vitro antibacterial activity against aerobic and anaerobic gm+ve and gm-ve bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to several penicillin-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidase step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls.

Precautions

Patient with known or suspected CNS disorders (e.g. brain lesions, history of seizures). Not intended for treatment of any type of pneumonia. Renal impairment. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor renal function and for signs of anaphylaxis during 1st dose. Consider haematologic assessment during prolonged therapy.
