Tebipenem (brand name Orapenem) is a broad-spectrum orally-administered antibiotic, from the carbapenem subgroup of β-lactam antibiotics. It was developed as a replacement drug to combat bacteria that had acquired antibiotic resistance to commonly used antibiotics.[1][2] Tebipenem is formulated as the ester tebipenem pivoxil due to the better absorption and improved bioavailability of this form.[3] It has performed well in clinical trials for ear infection and looks likely to be further developed in future.[4] It is only marketed in Japan .[5] Tebipenem is the first carbapenem whose prodrug form, the pivalyl ester, is orally available.[6]
