Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic originally discovered in 1947, used for the treatment of serious infections such as typhoid fever and bacterial meningitis. Due to its risk of serious side effects (most notably aplastic anemia), it is now rarely used in developed countries except in specific cases. It is still used in some regions for certain infections and is available in both oral and intravenous formulations.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics reported in healthy adults following oral administration of chloramphenicol base; parameters represent typical literature values.
