Description
Chlorocin suspension is an antibiotic used to treat serious infections like typhoid, meningitis, and certain lung and blood infections. Take it exactly as your doctor tells you, shaking the bottle well and using the right measuring device.
It works by stopping bacteria from growing and spreading, helping to fight the infection quickly. Do not use if you’re allergic to chloramphenicol.
Common side effects include dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and yellowing of the skin or eyes. Tell your doctor about any other medicines you take, especially blood thinners, epilepsy, or diabetes drugs.
Store it in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep away from children. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it’s near the next dose. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor approves. Be careful with driving, as it may cause blurred vision.

Uses
Chlorocin suspension is an antibiotic medicine used to treat serious infections like typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. It can also help treat certain types of meningitis, blood infections (septicaemia), and lung infections caused by specific bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. In some cases, it is used when other antibiotics are ineffective, such as in long-term urinary tract infections caused by resistant bacteria or in certain rickettsial infections. This medication should only be used under strict medical supervision, as it does not remove the carrier state of typhoid and is reserved for infections that are difficult to treat with other medications. ...
