Product Description:

FPM ACT® 200 is an advanced oral broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the carbapenem class. It is specifically indicated for the treatment of resistant bacterial infections that do not respond to conventional antibiotics. Faropenem has high stability against beta-lactamases, making it effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria.

Recommended in conditions like respiratory tract infections, skin & soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), ENT infections, and gynecological infections.

Key Benefits:

• Belongs to the carbapenem group with enhanced β-lactamase resistance

• Broad activity against multi-drug resistant organisms

• Convenient oral dosage – suitable for outpatient therapy

• High tissue penetration – effective in lung, urinary tract, skin, and gynecological tissues

• Reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to older antibiotics

---

How It Works:

Faropenem works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacterial structure. Unlike other beta-lactam antibiotics, it is stable against a wide range of beta-lactamases, including Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs).

This makes FPM ACT® 200 an effective oral option against resistant infections.
