Cilastatin Sodium
The sodium salt form of cilastatin is co-formulated with imipenem in the fixed combination product imipenem-cilastatin for intravenous administration. By blocking renal dehydropeptidase-I, it preserves adequate urinary concentrations of imipenem for treating urinary tract infections and reduces proximal tubule toxicity. The sodium content should be considered in patients requiring sodium restriction.
