Question 1

how effective is the management of urethritis using chloramphenicol?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Though Chloramphenicol has been used for the treatment of gonorrhea over 40-50 yrs ago and perhaps even on a more limited basis in under-developed countries more recently; due to increasing resistance, safety concerns, and more effective antibiotics available nowadays, Chloramphenicol is no longer a first-line agent for any indication or infection or std in developed nations today.

Question 2

can you get chloramphenicol ointment only as perscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes but why: There is a small but measurable risk of irreversible aplastic anemia from Chloramphenicol eye ointment and almost all conjunctivitis cases are not helped by any antibacterial rx.

Question 3

is chloramphenicol capsule safe in pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

: no. Speak to your doctor about which antibiotic you should take.

Question 4

help can chloramphenicol have hydrogen bonding?

Accepted Answer

Chloramphenicol: Chloramphenicol is something of a dangerous drug, and I don't recommend using it, except in extreme cases. If you are using it, it should be under the guidance of an Infectious Diseases specialist. It is very lipid-soluble, remaining relatively unbound to proteins. Thus, it has minimal hydrogen bonding if that's what you really want to know. Hopefully you can get more information from your doctor.

Question 5

what type of antimicrobial agent is chloramphenicol?

Accepted Answer

Chloramphenicol: Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin) is abroad-spectrum antibiotic.

Question 6

is it a good idea to be dying your acnes with chloramphenicol?

Accepted Answer

Get real care: An antibiotic should never be sole treatment for acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, your physician is the best person to see. Perhaps topical Clindamycin would be a better choice for a second Rx.

Question 7

what is the best/safest way to treat enterococcus: chloramphenicol or vancomycin?

Accepted Answer

Neither: When enterococcal infections require treatment, the best treatment is Ampicillin although in endocarditis the treatment is more complex.  Chloramphenicol is almost never used anymore because of the small but potentially fatal risk of reversible aplastic anemia.
