Uses of Chloromed 1gm Injection

Chloromed 1gm Injection eye drops and ointments are used for bacterial conjunctivitis and other surface eye infections, and ear drops for outer ear infections. Capsules, suspensions and injections are reserved for serious infections, such as typhoid fever or meningitis, when safer antibiotics cannot be used.

How Chloromed 1gm Injection works

Chloramphenicol stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow.

Possible side effects

With eye or ear drops, side effects are usually mild:
