What is Chloromycetin
ChloramphenicolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryChloramphenicol is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It was first isolated from a soil-dwelling bacterium in 1947 and can now be made synthetically. Chloramphenicol works by stopping the bacteria from making proteins which allows it to stop the infection. It is usually used as a last resort when other antibiotics have failed.

Effectiveness
How Chloromycetin Affects PatientsChloramphenicol is a type of antibiotic that can be produced naturally or synthetically. It is very effective in fighting a wide range of infections, but can have serious side effects, so it is usually only used to treat serious illnesses such as typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol works by stopping bacteria from growing and multiplying by binding to the bacteria's ribosome and blocking protein production.
How Chloromycetin works in the bodyChloramphenicol is able to penetrate the outer wall of bacterial cells. Once inside, it binds to a protein in the ribosome, which is responsible for making proteins. This binding stops the ribosome from making proteins, which stops the bacteria from reproducing.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed measure of Chloromycetin is contingent upon the identified condition, including Keratitis, Bacterial diarrhoea and Communicable Diseases. The degree of dosage also depends on the method of administration as specified in the table below.Condition

Chloromycetin Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lowest toxic dose of this drug in mice is 1500 mg/kg, and in rats it is 2500 mg/kg. Premature infants and newborns are especially vulnerable to overdosing on this drug, and the resulting symptoms are known as the "gray syndrome". These include swelling of the abdomen, vomiting, pale blue skin, weak blood circulation, and irregular breathing, which can lead to death within a few hours.

1/25/2013Patient Q&A Section about chloromycetin
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What type of antibiotic is chloromycetin?
"The study of microorganisms. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that was originally found in Streptomyces venezuelae. It prevents bacterial protein synthesis by disruptiing the transfer of activated amino acids from RNA to ribosomes."
Answered by AI
What are the side effects of chloromycetin?
"The medicine may cause some serious side effects, including blood problems and eye problems. Symptoms of the blood problems include pale skin, sore throat and fever, unusual bleeding or bruising, and unusual tiredness or weakness."
Answered by AI
What is chloromycetin used for?
"It will not work for other types of eye infections.
This eye drop is for treating bacterial eye infections only. Chloramphenicol stops the growth of bacteria. Do not use this drop for any other eye infections."
