Chloramphenicol
Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. Topical formulations are used for bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis, and selected ear infections, while systemic formulations may be reserved for serious infections such as typhoid fever or meningitis when safer, effective alternatives are unsuitable.
