WHAT MINIMS
CHLORAMPHENICOL IS
USED FOR
Minims Chloramphenicol is a broad-
spectrum antibiotic solution that is
used to treat an eye infection called
bacterial conjunctivitis, which is a
bacterial infection involving the
mucous membrane of the surface of
the eye.
The most common symptom is the
presence of a sticky yellow-white
discharge with mucus and pus (or
glued eyes, especially in the morning
on waking). Other symptoms include
a gritty sensation in the eye, redness,
irritation and watering of the eyes.
The infection usually starts in one
eye and then spreads to the other.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR, PHARMACIST OR
OPTOMETRIST IF YOU HAVE ANY

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
Chloramphenicol is indicated for the topical treatment of infections
due to micro- organisms
sensitive to the anti-infective.
4.2
Dose and method of administration
Adults (including the elderly) and children:
One to two drops applied topically to each affected eye up to six
times daily or more
frequently if required. (Severe infections may require one to two
drops every fifteen to
twenty minutes initially, reducing the frequency of instillation
gradually as the infection is
controlled).
The product is not recommended for children under 2 years of age
except on medical advice.
If used in children under 2 years of age the following is recommended
dosage: One drop in
the affected eye(s) four times daily for five days.
4.3
Contraindications
Use in patients with a history of hypersensitivity or toxicity to
chloramphenicol or any other
component of the preparation.
4.4
Special warnings and precautions for use
In
severe
infections
topical
use
of
chloramphenicol
should
be
supplemented
with
appropriate systemic treatment.
Aplastic anaemia has, very rarely, followed topical use of
chloramphenicol eye drops and,
whilst this hazard is an uncommon one, it should be borne in mind when
the benefits of the
use of chloramphenicol are assessed.
Prolonged use should be avoided as it may increase the likelihood of
sensitisation and the
emergence of resistant organisms.
Chloramphenicol should be reserved for use only in infections for
which it is specifically
indicated.
Contact lenses should be removed during the period of treatment.
Systemic absorption may be reduced by compressing the lacrimal sac at
the medial canthus
for a minute during and following the instillation of the drops. (This
