Pharmacological action

The active substance of the drug is chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic with high antibacterial activity against the causative agent of wound infections and various forms of purulent-inflammatory processes. Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, disrupts the process of protein synthesis in a microbial cell (having good lipophilicity, penetrates the bacterial cell membrane and binds back to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, in which the movement of amino acids to the growing peptide chains is delayed, which leads to disruption of protein synthesis). Active against most strains of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms resistant to penicillin, tetracyclines, sulfonamides.

Promotes the cleansing and healing of burns, purulent wounds and trophic ulcers, accelerates epithelization. It does not affect acid-resistant bacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis), anaerobes, methicillin-resistant strains of staphylococci, Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Serratia marcescens, indole-positive strains of Proteus spp., Pseudomonas viruses, aerugosa.

Indications

Bacterial infections of the skin caused by susceptible microorganisms, including infected burns (superficial and limited deep), pressure sores, trophic ulcers, boils.

Drug interaction

When used simultaneously with erythromycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, mutual weakening is noted due to the fact that chloramphenicol can displace these drugs from the bound state or prevent their binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Reduces the antibacterial effect of penicillins and cephalosporins.

Medications that inhibit bone marrow hematopoiesis increase the risk of myelosuppression.
