A member asked:
Wy does invanz (ertapenem) (anti-infective drug) state "do not administer with dextrose"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Causes instability: Ertapenem (invanz) molecule becomes "unstable" in sugar solutions (mannitol, dextrose, etc.). Therefore, all the drug labels specifically point out to not infuse with dextrose.
