FEROPAM is a broad-spectrum antibiotic containing Faropenem, a member of the carbapenem class, known for its high efficacy against multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections. Available in two strengths—200 mg and 300 mg ER—FEROPAM provides effective coverage against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria.
This advanced antibiotic is widely used for treating respiratory infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin infections, and gynecological infections. The extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a sustained effect, reducing dosing frequency while maintaining optimal therapeutic levels.
Indications
FEROPAM is highly effective for treating various bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory Tract Infections – Such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, and tonsillitis.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – Complicated and uncomplicated UTIs, including those resistant to other antibiotics.
Skin & Soft Tissue Infections – Effective against cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections.
Gynecological Infections – Treats pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and other reproductive tract infections.
Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Infections – Including otitis media, pharyngitis, and laryngitis.
Intra-abdominal Infections – Provides broad-spectrum action against gut-related bacterial infections.
FEROPAM is especially beneficial when other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as penicillins and cephalosporins) fail due to bacterial resistance.
The extended-release (ER) formulation of FEROPAM 300 ensures a longer duration of action, making it ideal for patients who require less frequent dosing with sustained effectiveness.
Dosage & Administration
The dosage of FEROPAM depends on the severity of the infection and patient’s medical condition. Below is a general guideline:
For Adults:
- FEROPAM 200 mg: One tablet twice daily (every 12 hours).
- FEROPAM 300 ER: One tablet once daily for extended coverage.
For Children:
- Faropenem is generally prescribed based on weight; consult a pediatrician for accurate dosing.
Note: Always complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent the risk of antibiotic resistance and recurrence of infection.
Precautions & Warnings
Allergies – Avoid FEROPAM if you are allergic to Faropenem or other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as penicillins or cephalosporins).
Liver & Kidney Function – Patients with renal or hepatic impairment should take caution and consult a doctor before use.

Drug Interactions – Faropenem may interact with medications like anticoagulants, probenecid, and immunosuppressants. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking.
