For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "This drug Invanz saved me. Admitted with a fever of 103°F, abdominal pain, unable to urinate. Started IV treatment with another drug. Culture came back positive for Klebsiella (ESBL) and was put on Invanz. I began three courses in the hospital and finished at home. I had a fourth course pre-op and post-op."

For Urinary Tract Infection "My dad was placed on this medication and did not do well. The side effects changed his mental status and affected his gross motor ability to the point that he was unable to eat and drink by himself."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "My husband was admitted to the hospital for sepsis. The blood culture showed Klebsiella pneumonia. Then he was sent home with a PICC line and the IV med Invanz. His strength deteriorated, and by the 5th day, he could not stand up and was hallucinating. I found this was a side effect of Invanz, and the drug was stopped, but he hallucinated severely for a week and could not walk. His doctor said he has had several patients that responded this way to this drug. This was a horrible experience, closer monitoring of the side effects of this drug is needed!!!"
