indicated for the treatment of adult patients and pediatric patients (3 months of age and older) with community acquired pneumonia due to streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin susceptible isolates only) including cases with concurrent bacteremia, haemophilus influenzae (beta-lactamase negative isolates only), or moraxella catarrhalis . ertapenem for injection is indicated for the treatment of adult patients and pediatric patients (3 months of age and older) with complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis due to escherichia coli , including cases with concurrent

including postpartum endomyometritis, septic abortion and post-surgical gynecological infections due to streptococcus agalactiae, escherichia coli , bacteroides fragilis, porphyromonas asaccharolytica, peptostreptococcus species, or prevotella bivia . ertapenem for injection is indicated in adults for the prevention of surgical site infection following elective colorectal surgery. to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ertapenem injection and other antibacterial drugs, ertapenem injection should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. when culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. in the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. - ertapenem for injection is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of this product or to other drugs in the same class or in patients who have demonstrated anaphylactic reactions to beta-lactams. - due to the use of lidocaine hcl as a diluent, ertapenem for injection administered intramuscularly is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type. risk summary available data from a small number of postmarketing cases with ertapenem for injection use in pregnancy are insufficient to inform any drug-associated risks for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. in animal reproduction studies after intravenous administration of ertapenem during the period of organogenesis, there was no evidence of developmental malformations in rats at systemic exposures (auc) up to approximately 1.2 times the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) and in mice at doses up to approximately 3 times the mrhd based on body surface area comparison. in pregnant rats administered ertapenem during organogenesis through lactation, fetal toxicity, developmental delays, and impaired reproduction did not occur in first generation offspring at systemic exposures (auc) approximately 1.2 times the human exposure at the mrhd (see data ). the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. data animal data in pregnant rats, intravenous administration of ertapenem dosages of up to 700 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 times the mrhd based on auc) during the period of organogenesis (gestation days [gd] 6-20) revealed no maternal or embryofetal effects. pregnant mice intravenously administered ertapenem dosages of up to 700 mg/kg/day (approximately 3 times the mrhd based on body surface area comparison) during the period of organogenesis (gd 6-15) showed slight decreases in average fetal weight and an associated decrease in the average number of ossified sacrocaudal vertebrae. there were no maternal effects at any dosage. in a pre-postnatal study in rats, ertapenem administered to pregnant rats at dosages up to 700 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.2 times the mrhd based on auc) during organogenesis through lactation, (gd 6 until lactation day (ld) 20) did not result in fetal toxicity, developmental delays, or impaired reproduction in first generation offspring, and fetal deaths and malformations were not increased in second generation offspring. risk summary ertapenem is present in human milk (see data ). there are no data on the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ertapenem for injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from ertapenem for injection or from the underlying maternal condition. data the concentration of ertapenem in breast milk from 5 lactating women with pelvic infections (5 to 14 days postpartum) measured at random time points daily for 5 consecutive days following the last 1 g dose of intravenous therapy (3 to 10 days of therapy) showed low levels. the concentration of ertapenem in breast milk within 24 hours of the last dose of therapy in all 5 women ranged from (<0.13 (lower limit of quantitation) to 0.38 mcg/ml), although peak concentrations were not assessed. by day 5 after discontinuation of therapy, the level of ertapenem was undetectable in the breast milk of 4 women and below the lower limit of quantitation (<0.13 mcg/ml) in 1 woman. the concentration of ertapenem in transitional milk observed in this study may not reflect the concentration of ertapenem in mature milk. safety and effectiveness of ertapenem for injection in pediatric patients 3 months to 17 years of age are supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled trials in adults, pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients, and additional data from comparator-controlled trials in pediatric patients 3 months to 17 years of age [see indications and usage (1.1), (1.2), (1.3), (1.4)and (1.5)and clinical studies (14.2)] . ertapenem for injection is not recommended in infants under 3 months of age as no data are available. ertapenem for injection is not recommended in the treatment of meningitis in the pediatric population due to lack of sufficient csf penetration. of the 1,835 patients in phase 2b/3 trials treated with ertapenem for injection, approximately 26 percent were 65 and over, while approximately 12 percent were 75 and over. no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. this drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see dosage and administration (2.2)]. dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with creatinine clearance 30 ml/min or less [see dosage and administration (2.4)and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . the pharmacokinetics of ertapenem in patients with hepatic impairment have not been established. of the total number of patients in clinical trials, 37 patients receiving ertapenem 1 g daily and 36 patients receiving comparator drugs were considered to have child-pugh class a, b, or c liver impairment. the incidence of adverse experiences in patients with hepatic impairment was similar between the ertapenem group and the comparator groups.
