frequently if required. Treatment should be continued for at least 48
hours after the eye appears normal.
Elderly (over 65 years):
As for adults. Chloramphenicol has been used successfully at normal
dosages in elderly patients. The pattern and
incidence of adverse effects does not appear to differ from younger
adults.

reduced systemic elimination due to immature

duration of treatment is 10-14 days.

Topical administration to the eye only.
