Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Imipenem, Cilastatin, Relebactam and Arenaria Rubra. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Arenaria Rubra Overview
Arenaria rubra, or sandwort, is a low-growing herb found in North America, Europe, Russia, Asia, and Australia. Its above-ground parts are used medicinally and contain triterpene saponins, resins, phenolic compounds (including C-glycosyl flavones), organic acids (oxalic, citric, malic, quinic, fumaric), and fatty acids (azelaic, myristic, palmitic, linoleic, linolenic, stearic). Studies suggest it inhibits alpha-glucosidase, impacting carbohydrate digestion, and has antioxidant effects against superoxide, nitric oxide, and DPPH free radicals. It also inhibits acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, potentially useful in Alzheimer's treatment by increasing acetylcholine availability for brain receptors.
Imipenem, Cilastatin, Relebactam Overview
-
Imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection is used to treat adults with certain serious urinary tract infections including kidney infections, and certain serious abdominal (stomach) infections when there are few or no other treatment options. It is also used to treat certain types of pneumonia that developed in adults who are on ventilators or who were already in a hospital. Imipenem is in a class of medications called carbapenem antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Cilastatin is in a class of medications called dehydropeptidase inhibitors. It works by helping imipenem stay active in your body for a longer period of time. Relebactam is in a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors. It works by preventing bacteria from destroying imipenem.
-
Antibiotics such as imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Taking or using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
