What is Chloramphenicol

ChloramphenicolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryChlortetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It was initially discovered in 1947 in the cultures of a type of bacteria called Streptomyces venequelae, and is now produced synthetically. Chlortetracycline works by blocking the ability of bacteria to create proteins, and is mainly used to slow down the growth of bacterial cells.

Effectiveness

How Chloramphenicol Affects PatientsChloramphenicol is an antibiotic that can fight many different types of bacteria. It was originally derived from a type of bacteria, but is now made synthetically. Unfortunately, it can have dangerous side effects in humans, so it is usually only used to treat serious infections such as typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol works by preventing bacteria from making proteins and stopping their growth.
How Chloramphenicol works in the bodyChloramphenicol is able to penetrate the bacterial cell wall and attach itself to the ribosome. This prevents the ribosome from making proteins, which in turn stops the bacteria from reproducing.

When to interrupt dosage

The advocated dose of Chloramphenicol is contingent upon the diagnosed issue, such as Keratitis, Bacterial diarrhoea and Communicable Diseases. The measure fluctuates, depending on the method of delivery featured in the table beneath.

Patient Q&A Section about chloramphenicol

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is chloramphenicol a strong antibiotic?

"Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic that kills a variety of bacteria. However, it is not commonly used because it can be toxic to the bone marrow."

Answered by AI

What bacteria does chloramphenicol treat?

"The medication chloramphenicol can be used to treat infections caused by S. typhi, H. influenzae, E. coli, Neisseria species, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species, Rickettsia, and lymphogranuloma-psittacosis group of organisms."

Answered by AI

What is chloramphenicol used for?

"Chloramphenicol is used to treat serious infections in different parts of the body. It is sometimes given with other antibiotics. However, chloramphenicol should not be used for colds, flu, other virus infections, sore throats or other minor infections, or to prevent infections."

Answered by AI

Why is chloramphenicol toxic to humans?

"The main side effect of chloramphenicol is damage to the blood. In all animals that have been studied, it directly and consistently causes bone marrow depression, resulting in low levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets."
