Just got prescribed Vabomere 2gm IV for a kidney infection...anyone have experience with this?
I've just been prescribed Vabomere 2gm IV for a complicated kidney infection. This is my first time dealing with such a serious antibiotic, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. Has anyone else taken Vabomere? If so, can you share your experiences and any side effects you might have encountered? I'd love to hear how it's affected other people before I start my treatment.
Vabomere is a combo of meropenem and vaborbactam. The vaborbactam is what makes it special—it helps the meropenem fight resistant bacteria. I'm a pharmacist, and I've seen it work miracles on tough infections. Just monitor for those rare but serious side effects and you should be fine.
I had Vabomere for a UTI that spread to my kidneys. It was intense, but it worked. I felt really sick for a few days but recovered well.
I was on Vabomere for an abdominal infection. It was rough, but I had no major side effects. Just a bit of irritation at the injection site. I'm glad it's IV though, so it went straight to my system.
Is it true that Vabomere can cause seizures? That's terrifying.
