Common [[adverse drug reaction]]s are nausea and vomiting. People who are allergic to [[penicillin]] and other β-lactam antibiotics should take caution if taking imipenem, as cross-reactivity rates are high. At high doses, imipenem is seizurogenic.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Cannon JP, Lee TA, Clark NM, Setlak P, Grim SA | title = The risk of seizures among the carbapenems: a meta-analysis | journal = The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy | volume = 69 | issue = 8 | pages = 2043–55 | date = August 2014 | pmid = 24744302 | doi = 10.1093/jac/dku111 | doi-access = free }}</ref> |
||
==Mechanism of action== |
|||
⚫ | Imipenem acts as an antimicrobial through inhibiting cell wall synthesis of various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It remains very stable in the presence of β-lactamase (both penicillinase and cephalosporinase) produced by some bacteria, and is a strong inhibitor of β-lactamases from some Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics.{{cn|date=March 2023}} |
