| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Imipenem/cilastatin''' is a broad spectrum [[beta-lactam]] [[antibiotic]] containing equal quantities of [[imipenem]] and [[cilastatin]]. It is related to the penicillin/cephalosporin family of antibiotics but is classified as belonging to the [[carbapenem]] class. It has the ability to kill a wide variety of bacteria. It works by interfering with their ability to form cell walls, and therefore the bacteria break up and die.
