Investigation on administration method of carbapenems

摘要

Seventy-two women diagnosed as parametritis were enrolled in this study and examined on the effective administration method of carbapenems, imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS), panipenem/betamipron (PAPM/BP) and meropenem (MEPM). The total dosage of each carbapenem was 1.5 g/day, and administration frequency was twice a day (0.75 g x 2) or three times a day (0.5 g x 3). We reviewed the highest body temperature, white blood cell count and CRP value, before treatment and the fourth day after the start of treatment. Three times a day method was statistically superior to twice a day method in the highest body temperature, and CRP value. When we use carbapenem antimicrobial agents, the basis of PK/PD of time above MIC would lead to the increasing clinical effects.
