Case reports in the literature have shown that co-administration of carbapenems, including meropenem, to patients receiving valproic acid or divalproex sodium results in a reduction in valproic acid concentrations. The valproic acid concentrations may drop below the therapeutic range as a result of this interaction, therefore increasing the risk of breakthrough seizures. Although the mechanism of this interaction is unknown, data from in vitro and animal studies suggest that carbapenems may inhibit the hydrolysis of valproic acid's glucuronide metabolite (VPA-g) back to valproic acid, thus decreasing the serum concentrations of valproic acid. If administration of Meropenem for injection is necessary, then supplemental anti-convulsant therapy should be considered
Probenecid competes with meropenem for active tubular secretion, resulting in increased plasma concentrations of meropenem. Co-administration of probenecid with meropenem is not recommended.
/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/

Approximately 70% of the intravenously administered dose is recovered as unchanged meropenem in the urine over 12 hours, after which little further urinary excretion is detectable. Urinary concentrations of meropenem in excess of 10 ug/mL are maintained for up to 5 hours after a 500 mg dose.
Meropenem is distributed into most body tissues and fluids, including bronchial mucosa, lung, bile, gynecologic tissue (endometrium, myometrium, ovary, cervix, fallopian tube), muscle, heart valves, skin, interstitial and peritoneal fluid, and CSF. Plasma protein binding is approximately 2%. The drug is partially metabolized to at least one microbiologically inactive metabolite. About 70% of an IV dose is eliminated in urine as unchanged drug by tubular secretion and glomerular filtration.
At the end of a 30 minute intravenous infusion of a single dose of Meropenem for injection (IV) in healthy volunteers, mean peak plasma concentrations of meropenem are approximately 23 ug/mL (range 14-26) for the 500 mg dose and 49 ug/mL (range 39-58) for the 1 g dose. A 5-minute intravenous bolus injection of Meropenem for injection (IV) in healthy volunteers results in mean peak plasma concentrations of approximately 45 ug/mL (range 18-65) for the 500 mg dose and 112 ug/mL (range 83-140) for the 1 g dose. Following intravenous doses of 500 mg, mean plasma concentrations of meropenem usually decline to approximately 1 ug/mL at 6 hours after administration. No accumulation of meropenem in plasma was observed with regimens using 500 mg administered every 8 hours or 1 g administered every 6 hours in healthy volunteers with normal renal function.
