Bone marrow failure, including the idiosyncratic type of irreversible and fatal aplastic anaemia that is recognised to occur with systemic therapy, has been reported in association with topical administration of chloramphenicol. Phenylmercuric nitrate may cause allergic reactions. Topical application to eyes has been associated with mercurialentis and atypical band keratopathy.

What causes watery eyes?

When shopping for any ocular lubrication utensil it can be extremely hard to understand what exactly you need, and more importantly, what works the best. Larger high-street chains will often take extremely little care in regard to the appropriateness of the product for your condition, but instead will sway you towards the most expensive item on the shelf, largely because they do not always have the appropriate knowledge needed to diagnose the best solution. Your lifestyle, environment, age, general health, allergies and many other factors can cause a range of eye problems, from temporary dryness to infection. No one cares for eyes like Optrex. Their gentle yet effective products for Problem Eyes and Everyday Eye Care are specially formulated to meet your eye care needs, so whether your eyes are simply tired & in need of refreshment or you have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics Optrex has a solution.

In severe bacterial conjunctivitis and in cases where infection is not confined to the conjunctivae, the topical use of chloramphenicol should be supplemented by appropriate systemic treatment. Therefore, the patient should be referred to seek medical advice. This can include rashes, fever, angioedema, urticaria and anaphylaxis. Treatment must be discontinued immediately in such cases. Chloramphenicol exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to bacterial ribosomes and inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis at an early stage.

Chloramphenicol is readily absorbed when given by mouth. Blood concentrations of 10µg per ml or more may be reached about 1 or 2 hours after a single dose of 1g by mouth, and blood concentrations of about 18.5µg per ml have been reported after multiple 1g doses. Choramphenicol palmitate is hydrolysed to chloramphenicol in the gastrointestinal tract prior to absorption, and the sodium succinate, which is given parenterally is probably hydrolysed to free drug mainly in the liver, lungs, and kidneys; such hydrolysis may be incomplete in infants and neonates, contributing to the variable pharmacokinetics in this age group. Chloramphenicol sodium succinate is, even in adults, only partially and variably hydrolysed, so that blood concentrations of chloramphenicol obtained after parenteral administration of the sodium succinate are often lower than those obtained after administration of chloramphenicol by mouth, with up to 30% of a dose excreted unchanged in the urine before hydrolysis can take place. Changes in your vision. If you have sudden loss of vision, flashing lights or changes to your sight like wavy lines, you should always seek emergency medical help. Chloramphenicol is excreted mainly in the urine but only 5 to 10% of an oral dose appears unchanged; the remainder is inactivated in the liver, mostly by conjugation with glucorinic acid. About 3% is excreted in the bile. However, most is reabsorbed and only about 1%, mainly in the inactive form, is excreted in the faeces. Evaporative dry eye - when a gap in the protective tear film allows moisture to be lost. This is the most common type, accounting for 80% of dry eye cases.
