Description
Active Ingredient: The effective antibiotic has active ingredient Chloramphenicol. It is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptomyces venequelae. It primarily shows bacteriostatic activity. This active component diffuses through the bacterial cell wall and reversibly binds to the bacterial subunit. This process of binding interferes with peptidyl transferase activity that prevents transfer of amino acids to the growing peptide chains and blocks peptide bond formation. It leads to blockage of bacterial protein synthesis and impede bacterial cell proliferation.
Indications: This Chloramphenicol composed antibiotic is used to treat various bacterial infections of eyes. It should be used only in those serious infections which other drugs are ineffective or contraindicated. Chloromycetin capsules are indicated for the treatment of surface ocular infections caused by chloramphenicol-susceptible micro-organisms.
