Overview
Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It was first isolated from Streptomyces venezuelae in 1947 and is known for its effectiveness in treating serious infections such as meningitis, plague, cholera, and typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol is available in various forms, including eye drops, oral, intravenous, and intramuscular injections.
Uses
Chloramphenicol is used in both human and veterinary medicine. In humans, it is used to treat severe infections when other antibiotics are ineffective. It is also used in eye ointments to treat conjunctivitis. In veterinary medicine, it is used to treat chlamydial infections in koalas and other animals.
Regulatory
Chloramphenicol is regulated differently across countries. In the US, it is available by prescription only and carries a black box warning due to its potential for severe side effects. It is listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, indicating its importance in a basic health system.
Monitoring
Due to its potential for severe side effects, monitoring blood levels of chloramphenicol and blood cell counts is recommended during treatment. This is especially important for patients with liver or kidney problems, as they may require lower doses.
Health Impact
Common side effects of chloramphenicol include bone marrow suppression, nausea, and diarrhea. Severe side effects can include aplastic anemia, which can be fatal. To minimize risks, treatment duration should be as short as possible, and patients should be closely monitored.
Environmental Impact
Chloramphenicol can have environmental impacts if not disposed of properly. It is crucial for laboratories and healthcare facilities to follow proper disposal guidelines to prevent contamination of water sources and soil.
Safety Measures
When handling chloramphenicol, it is essential to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid exposure. Laboratories should have safety protocols in place for the handling and disposal of chloramphenicol to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
