Recarbrio is a combination antibiotic medicine given by IV infusion. It contains imipenem (a carbapenem antibiotic that kills bacteria), cilastatin (which stops the kidneys from breaking down imipenem too quickly), and relebactam (which protects imipenem from being destroyed by certain bacterial enzymes). Together these three ingredients treat serious bacterial infections, including some caused by bacteria that are resistant to many other antibiotics.
