What’s the typical cost of meropenem injection in India?
Meropenem injection prices in India vary a lot by brand, pack size (number of vials), vial strength (commonly 250 mg, 500 mg, or 1 g), and whether it’s a generic or branded product. Availability also changes by city and pharmacy.
If you want, tell me the exact strength (e.g., 500 mg or 1 g) and how many vials you need, and I can narrow down what to ask for and what price range to expect.
Why prices differ so much (brand vs generic, vial size, and pharmacy markup)
Meropenem is usually sold as a vial that’s reconstituted before IV use. Prices can differ because:
- Generic meropenem often costs less than branded versions.
- Larger pack sizes (more vials) typically reduce the per-vial cost.
- Hospital purchase prices can differ from retail pharmacy prices.

What you should share to get an accurate estimate
To estimate cost in India more precisely, share:
- Vial strength (250 mg / 500 mg / 1 g)
- Brand or “generic” preference
- Pack size (e.g., 1 vial, 5 vials, 10 vials)
- Retail pharmacy vs hospital bill (OPD/ward procurement)
Quick safety note for purchasing
Meropenem injection is prescription-only in India and must be administered by healthcare professionals. Don’t substitute products without confirming vial strength and formulation with a clinician/pharmacist.
