Meronem (meropenem) — carbapenem heavy artillery: near-total spectrum including ESBL producers, meningeal penetration and the family’s lowest seizure profile; ICU/ID-stewarded for life-threatening infections. Its one dramatic interaction: valproate crashes 60-90% within days (breakthrough seizures — immediate neurology coordination); renal dosing mandatory.
