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?

I haven't figured out how to insert hyperlinks in Agent, but a search
will take you to Merck Manual, PDR, etc. And you will find the last
resort stuff wherever you look. This drug needs to be saved for
typhoid, meningitis and serious stuff like that.
