Our process makes it as easy as possible to apply for the Invanz patient assistance program. Begin by completing the enrollment application form on our website. Tell us about any medications that you are taking, including Invanz. You must also provide details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income.

What is Invanz?

Invanz is a prescription antibiotic given to adults and children three months and older to treat a range of moderate to severe bacterial infections. Specifically, Invanz is prescribed to treat:

  • Complicated intra-abdominal infections
  • Complicated skin and skin structure infections, including diabetic foot infections without osteomyelitis
  • Complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis
  • Acute pelvic infections including postpartum endomyometritis, septic abortion, and post-surgical gynecologic infections
  • Community-acquired pneumonia
  • Bacterial infections after elective colorectal surgery

Invanz is given by an intravenous infusion (as a liquid solution) directly into a vein, usually by a doctor or other healthcare professional. The dose, frequency, and how many infusions you’ll need will depend on your age, health, and condition.

Invanz active ingredients

The active ingredient in Invanz is an antibiotic drug called ertapenem that can kill a range of bacteria. Ertapenem works by stopping bacteria from making protective cell walls around themselves. It does this by blocking the action of enzymes, called penicillin-binding proteins, that the bacteria use to make their cell walls.

Without proper cell walls, the bacteria can’t divide and grow as effectively. They will then die as the molecules inside their cells leak out into their surroundings (called osmotic disruption).

Invanz side effects & Invanz drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Invanz include:

  • Headaches
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea (feeling sick)
  • Vomiting (being sick)
  • Problems at the site of injection, including inflammation, swelling, the formation of lumps, pain, and leaking of fluid into surrounding tissue

In rare instances, Invanz can cause more serious side effects, like:

  • Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause anaphylaxis and serious skin reactions
  • Seizures and other neurological problems like brain damage (encephalopathy) and coma – this is more likely in patients with kidney problems
  • An increased risk of severe diarrhea caused by a bacterial infection called Clostridium difficile (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea – CDAD), which can lead to serious and even fatal colitis (an inflammatory bowel disease)

Invanz can interact with other medications, particularly:

  • Medicines called valproic acid or sodium valproate, taken to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, migraines, and schizophrenia
  • A medication called probenecid (Probalan), taken to reduce uric acid levels in people with gout

If you’re unsure whether you’re taking any of these, take the packaging of all your medications and supplements to your doctor or pharmacist.

Invanz warnings & precautions

Invanz can cause side effects, like dizziness and sleepiness, that can affect your ability to drive, operate machinery, or perform other dangerous tasks. Avoid such activities when taking Invanz until you’re confident it doesn’t impair your ability to do so.

Invanz isn’t suitable for everyone. Don’t take Invanz if you are allergic to the active ingredient ertapenem, any of the other ingredients in Invanz, or any other antibiotics. Invanz should not be given to infants under three months of age.

Talk to your doctor before taking Invanz if you:

  • Are taking any of the medications that could interact with Invanz
  • Have any kidney problems
  • Have any central nervous system disorders, such as localized tremors or seizures
  • Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant
  • Are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed
