Hi, folks. My brother is recommended to use chloramphenicol. I must admit that I haven't heard about this medication before. When is it used? I would really appreciate if someone could reply to me with this. I am not a medical expert, so this piece of info would really mean to me.

Hello. Chloramphenicol is antibiotic that is used to treat infections. It has a wide range of spectrum. It is effective against Gram positive and Gram negative cocci and bacili. Anaerobes are also included. Rickettsia, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma are also sensitive to this medication. Nowadays, chloramphenicol is no longer used to treat infections. It shows toxicity to bone marrow. Pneumococcus meningitis used to be treated with this. Nowadays, chloramphenicol is used as topical antibiotic, mostly in ophtamology. I hope everything will be all right.
