6.general info:Chloramphenicol (INN) is a bacteriocidal antimicrobial. It is considered a prototypical broad-spectrum antibiotic, alongside the tetracyclines.

6. General introduction: 

Chloramphenicol is effective against a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including most anaerobic organisms. Due to resistance and safety concerns, it is no longer a first-line agent for any indication in developed nations, although it is sometimes used topically for eye infections; nevertheless, the global problem of advancing bacterial resistance to newer drugs has led to renewed interest in its use.In low-income countries, chloramphenicol is still widely used because it is exceedingly inexpensive and readily available.

Indications:

The most serious adverse effect associated with chloramphenicol treatment is bone marrow toxicity, which may occur in two distinct forms: bone marrow suppression, which is a direct toxic effect of the drug and is usually reversible, and aplastic anemia, which is idiosyncratic (rare, unpredictable, and unrelated to dose) and generally fatal
