IUPAC Name

I think the IUPAC Name should be

(4R,5S,6S)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methyl-7-oxo-3-({(3S,5S)-5-[(sulfamoylamino)methyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}sulfanyl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 23:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

==Administration==

a section is needed on administration. apparently its parenteral only, but im? iv? inpatients only?etc., etc.also toxicity.Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

in the US, doripenem is only indicated to be administered intravenously. it seems unlikely that it could be used orally or intramuscularly due to a few factors, not least of which that this is used for very serious infections or 2nd-3rd line therapy
