Uh, other than it causes Leukemia-like symptoms in many people. Great drug
for fish though, I still have some. It's a last resort antibiotic in humans.



Interesting...chloramphenical is one of the most commonly used
ingredient in eye drops over here....it's prescription only but is the
first thing usually given (I have a reaction to it personally so can't
use it)...

Got any stuff to back up the "last resort antibiotic" stuff?
