Frequently asked questions about Meropenem

Q. My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Merohit 250mg Injection, still, she had an episode of seizure. Why?

Serious skin reactions are rare, but some have been reported with the use of Merohit 250mg Injection.
