Panipenem/betamipron is a carbapenem antibiotic[1] marketed by Daiichi Sankyo Co. of Japan. It was launched in 1993,[2] under the brand name Carbenin.[3]

It is a combination in which panipenem is the carbapenem antibiotic and betamipron inhibits renal uptake of panipenem[4] and so reduces its nephrotoxicity[5] (much like the imipenem/cilastatin combination).
