What is Chloramphenicol?
Active Ingredients: Chloramphenicol
Chloramphenicol Capsules are a drug used to treat severe bacterial infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. This drug is used, either alone or in combination with other antibiotics, for the treatment of some types of bacterial infections, such as conjunctivitis, meningitis, cholera, and typhoid fever.
Due to the severe risk of aplastic anemia, Chloramphenicol is typically used after other antibiotics have shown ineffective or safer antibiotics are unavailable.
Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic that was originally derived from Streptomyces venezuelae. The active ingredient works by inhibiting protein synthesis in the cell wall of the bacteria. It is active against some strains of bacteria, such as Haemophilus Influenza, Neisseria meningitidis, and Streptococcus pneumonia.
