📋Overview
Cilastatin is a medication primarily used in combination with certain antibiotics, such as imipenem. Its main role is to inhibit an enzyme in the kidneys that would otherwise break down these antibiotics, thereby increasing their effectiveness. Cilastatin itself does not have direct antibacterial activity. It is most commonly associated with the treatment of various bacterial infections when used as part of a combination therapy.
