crystalline powder. The powder is constituted for intravenous infusion. The pH of the 
infusion solution is between 4.5 and 5.5.

following infections caused by susceptible bacteria:
(See _Microbiology._) 
•  Complicated intra-abdominal infections 
•  Complicated  urinary  tract  infections,  including  complicated  and  uncomplicated 
pyelonephritis and cases with concurrent bacteremia_ _
Doribax  is  also  indicated  for  the  treatment  of  nosocomial  pneumonia,  including  ventilator-
associated pneumonia, caused by susceptible bacteria. In the nosocomial pneumonia clinical 
studies, adjunctive use of an aminoglycoside was permitted.  _ _

negative  aerobic  and  anaerobic  bacteria,  DORIBAX™  can  be  considered  for  treatment  of 
complicated  and  mixed  infections.  Appropriate  specimens  for  bacteriological  examination 
should be obtained in order to isolate and identify causative organisms and to determine their 
susceptibility  to  doripenem.  In  the  absence  of  such  data,  local  epidemiology

DORIBAX™ is a carbapenem antibiotic indicated as a single agent for
the treatment of the
following infections caused by susceptible bacteria: (See
_Microbiology._
)
•
Complicated intra-abdominal infections
•
Complicated urinary tract infections, including complicated and
uncomplicated
pyelonephritis and cases with concurrent bacteremia
_ _
Doribax is also indicated for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia,
including ventilator-
associated pneumonia, caused by susceptible bacteria. In the
nosocomial pneumonia clinical
studies, adjunctive use of an aminoglycoside was permitted.
_ _
Because of its broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against
gram-positive and gram-
negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, DORIBAX™ can be considered
for treatment of
complicated and mixed infections. Appropriate specimens for
bacteriological examination
should be obtained in order to isolate and identify causative
organisms and to determine their
susceptibility
to
doripenem.
In
the
absence
of
such
data,
local
epidemiology
and
susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of
therapy.
