description Product Description
Chloramphenicol is widely used as an antibiotic to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against a range of bacteria, including those causing respiratory tract infections, typhoid fever, and meningitis. In veterinary medicine, it is used to treat infections in animals. Additionally, it is applied in ophthalmic solutions to treat eye infections such as conjunctivitis. Due to its potential side effects, including bone marrow suppression, it is typically reserved for serious infections when other antibiotics are ineffective or contraindicated.
