The FDA granted approval for meropenem as a monotherapy in 1996; indicated for complicated infections of the skin or stomach and bacterial meningitis. In the EU, meropenem is approved for use in fixed-dose combination with vaborbactam (Vaborem®, previosly called Vabomere). Vaborem was authorised by the EMA in 2018, and was indicated for complicated urinary tract (and kidney) infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonias.
