Indications and warnings about chloramphenicol.
Lancet 1973 Oct 6; 2:(7832):781-3
Abstract:
The limited indications for, side-effects of, and contraindications to, chloramphenicol are well established. However, a review of information given on manufacturers’ leaflets for 55 packs available in twenty-one countries highlights wide differences, with unwarranted lists of indications and inadequate (or sometimes no) warnings about the drug’s dangers.
