Q. Is Imipenem used alone?
Imipenem is always used in combination with Cilastatin, which is a dehydropeptidase I inhibitor. Cilastatin blocks the activity of an enzyme (dehydropeptidase I) that causes breakdown of Imipenem. Hence, it helps Imipenem to stay active in your body, and works for a longer period of time.
