Medicine Advice Needed
Hi my father has been diagnosed with some bacterial infection in both kidneys.
The doctor's have suggested to use Meropenem 1Gm thrice a day (Intronem 1Gm - ODIN Healthcare ltd). Salt Combo is: This costs about 1100 per injection. So 3300 per day for 15 days.
My brother's friend who is a medicine wholesaler says it's the same Meropenem that is also available in name of Zypenem. The cost is 440 per injection.
Can someone help to understand that these two are same meds? I have attached the pics. Pls its urgent.

Both are the same drug.
Different brands will keep their price at different rates.
And if u get from wholesaler, price will be cheaper.
Hence the difference.
