Cilastatin is a drug used in combination with imipenem (a broad-spectrum antibiotic) to treat bacterial infections. Cilastatin inhibits the breakdown of imipenem in the kidneys, thus enhancing its effectiveness. The combination of cilastatin and imipenem is particularly useful in treating serious infections, such as those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. Side effects may include gastrointestinal upset, skin rashes, and changes in liver function tests.
