What exactly is ertapenem/Invanz used for?

Ertapenem (Invanz) is an injectable antibiotic in the carbapenem class, used for certain serious bacterial infections (for example, intra-abdominal infections and other infections where a carbapenem is appropriate). [1]

Is there any difference between Invanz and generic ertapenem?

They’re the same active drug (ertapenem). The difference is typically the manufacturer and the brand vs. generic labeling, not the core antibiotic molecule. [1]

If they contain ertapenem as the active ingredient, they are considered equivalent in terms of the antibiotic itself; differences you might see are dosing format and manufacturer packaging rather than a different medicine. [1]
