Definition: Ertapenem, sold under the brand name Invanz, is a carbapenem antibiotic medication used for the treatment of infections of the abdomen, the lungs, the upper part of the female reproductive system, and the diabetic foot. The most common side effects include diarrhoea, nausea, headache, and problems around the area where the medicine is infused.
