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.
Talk to a doctor about using your medication with food, drink, or tobacco with your healthcare provider.

My package was delivered in St. Johns during a cold spell and was outdoors for a while. What should I check before I take the capsules?
Check that the package and capsules are dry, intact, and unchanged in appearance, and review the label for the 20°C to 25°C storage requirement. Because the actual temperature and exposure time are unknown, do not use the capsules if they appear damaged or altered until the product has been checked.
I live in Windsor. Can I use my postal code to find out whether Chloromycetin can be shipped to my address before ordering?
Yes. Enter your Windsor postal code and address during checkout to check whether shipping is available for your destination before completing the order.
I'm in Yellowknife, where some deliveries can be limited. How can I check whether you can send these capsules to my address?
Please enter your full Yellowknife address and postal code at checkout. Destination availability can vary, so the checkout result is the best way to confirm whether the order can be shipped there.
My previous chloramphenicol treatment had a different brand name. Before I order from Vancouver, what should I compare to make sure I'm looking at the same type of medicine?
Compare the active ingredient, chloramphenicol, the oral capsule dosage form, and the 500 mg strength. A different brand name or capsule appearance does not by itself establish that products are interchangeable for your treatment, so confirm any proposed switch with the prescriber who selected the antibiotic.
I have chronic liver disease and was told I may need chloramphenicol. Does that affect whether I can use these 500 mg capsules?
Yes. Chloramphenicol is mainly metabolized by the liver, and severe liver impairment can prolong its elimination and increase toxicity risk. The prescriber needs to decide whether it is appropriate and whether dosing and blood monitoring need adjustment.

When I lived in Ottawa, parcels for my Chloromycetin order usually arrived two or three days sooner than they do now.
Satisfied with this generic.
I appreciated the discreet labelling; the outer package didn't advertise its contents.
