A solution for infusion is prepared by dissolving the drug product Meropenem (MERONEM) IV in either 0.9% sodium chloride solution for infusion or 5% glucose (dextrose) solution for infusion to a final concentration of 1 to 20 mg/mL. Chemical and physical in-use stability for a prepared solution for infusion using 0.9% sodium chloride solution has been demonstrated for 3 hours at up to 25°C or 24 hours under refrigerated conditions (2-8ºC). Reconstituted solutions of Meropenem (MERONEM) IV in 5% glucose (dextrose) solution should be used immediately.
The reconstituted solutions should not be frozen.
From a microbiological point of view, unless the method of opening/reconstitution/dilution precludes the risk of microbiological contamination, the product should be used immediately. If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions are the responsibility of the user.
