Chloromycetin is a drug in the broad-spectrum antibiotic family. It reduces numerous bacterial infections, including those of the blood, brain, lung, and other major organs. However, it is ineffective for viral illnesses, colds, or the flu.
Even if you see improvements in your health, never stop taking Chloromycetin earlier than suggested by your doctor. If you stop taking the drug too soon, it could make things worse. Until you know how this drug affects you, take caution when operating machinery, driving, climbing, or performing other risky actions. Avoid consuming alcohol. Before giving this medicine to a child, always contact a doctor.
Consult a physician if any of the following apply to you or have previously affected you: cardiac conditions (such as irregular heart rhythms), kidney or liver disease, anemia or other blood conditions, allergy to chloramphenicol or related drugs, foods, coloring materials, or preservatives, digestive or intestine issues, particularly colitis, dental issues, pregnancy, nursing, or intending to get pregnant.
Chloromycetin is available as a liquid solution and capsule for oral use.
This drug is often taken in 50 milligrams (mg). It is advised to take medication four times a day, on schedule.
Some fluids should accompany this medication. When using Chloromycetin, it is best to drink multiple glasses of water daily to protect your kidneys. You can take it on an empty stomach or with food. Taking the medication with food lessens gastrointestinal discomfort and facilitates your body's absorption of the medication.
It is recommended to swallow the capsules whole. Never open, chew, break, or crush them.
For the medicine to be evenly mixed, give the beverage a good shake before using it. Use a measuring spoon or medicine cup with a designated marking to ensure you are taking the right amount.
As directed by your doctor and on the label of your prescription, take this medication as directed.
Try to take the dose as soon as you remember if you miss it. Take just one dose if it's time for your next one. The dosage doesn't need to be doubled.
Any medication used in excess might have detrimental effects on your health. Consult your healthcare physician right away if you believe you have overdosed.
Chloromycetin may interact with the following:
This is not an exhaustive list of interactions.

I'm in Darwin. Can I enter my postcode before paying to see whether Chloromycetin capsules can be delivered to my address?
Yes. Enter your Darwin postcode and delivery address at checkout to check whether this product can be delivered there before you complete the order. Availability can vary by address.
I live outside Mount Isa and delivery options can be limited. How can I check whether you can deliver these capsules to my area?
Please enter your full Mount Isa delivery address at checkout to check availability for your area. We cannot confirm remote-area delivery until the address has been checked.
My parcel was delivered in Cairns on a very hot day and sat outside for several hours. What should I check before using the capsules?
For a parcel delivered in Cairns, check that the container is tightly closed, dry, intact and that the capsules have not changed colour or appearance. Store them at 20°C to 25°C away from light and moisture; because the temperature exposure and duration are unknown, do not use capsules with damaged packaging or questionable condition.
I still have a few capsules from a previous chloramphenicol pack, but the new pack may be from another manufacturer. Can I combine them to finish the same course?
Do not combine packs until you have confirmed that both labels show chloramphenicol 500 mg capsules and the same oral dosage form. Manufacturers and inactive ingredients can differ, so ask a pharmacist or prescriber before mixing packs within one treatment course.
I take warfarin every day. Is it safe to start Chloromycetin capsules as well?
Chloramphenicol can increase warfarin's anticoagulant effect and raise bleeding risk by slowing its metabolism. The prescriber managing your warfarin should review the combination and arrange INR monitoring rather than starting it without that check.

Everything went really well.
I previously paid A$210 for the 500 mg order; it now costs A$240. The parcel arrived in good condition.
Support quickly confirmed the address correction before dispatch.
