The clinical efficacy and the susceptibility and resistance
of bacteria to the imipenemecilastatin formulation have been
widely studied; however, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, one
of the simplest, most accurate and precise validated quality
control laboratory methods, has not been used for pharmaceutical
quality control for a long time. The main objective of
our study was to compare the quality of the two brands of
imipenemecilastatin present on the Lebanese market.
