Invanz (ertapenem) is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections of the skin, lungs, stomach, pelvis, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat infections within the abdomen, community-acquired pneumonia, gynecological infection, and foot infections in diabetes patients. In addition, Invanz may be used to prevent infection after colorectal surgery.
The active substance in Invanz, ertapenem, belongs to the group of antibiotics known as carbapenems. It attaches to certain proteins on the bacteria cells. This upsets the essential functions that keep the cells alive, and so kills the bacteria.
