A member asked:
Expert opinions? which is the best eye drops for newborn tobrex (tobramycin) or chloramphenicol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not chloramphenacol: I'm surprised to see the eye drop mentioned. It is associated with total bone marrow failure in children.One exposure to chloramphenacol eye drops could do this.I remember a case from about 4 decades ago, very sad and the young boy died before school age.
