Carbenicillin is an antibiotic from the penicillin class used to treat bacterial infections caused by gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is effective against bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp., and Escherichia coli.

This medication is primarily used for severe infections, such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Carbenicillin is usually administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the severity of the infection.

Patients should strictly follow their doctor's instructions and complete the entire course of treatment to prevent the development of bacterial resistance. It is important to monitor kidney and liver function during treatment, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, or, in rare cases, hematological disorders. Patients should inform their doctor of any adverse reactions or unusual symptoms.
