About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Enteromycetin 500 Caplet contains Chloramphenicol 500 mg, a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. Chloramphenicol acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing bacterial growth and replication. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria, including typhoid fever, meningitis, and certain respiratory tract infections. Enteromycetin 500 Caplet is particularly useful in cases where other antibiotics are contraindicated or ineffective. The medication is administered orally and absorbed rapidly, achieving therapeutic concentrations in various body tissues and fluids. Dosage and duration of therapy should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the severity of infection, patient age, weight, and renal function. Caution is advised due to potential adverse effects such as bone marrow suppression, which may manifest as aplastic anemia or leukopenia, necessitating regular blood count monitoring during prolonged therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions and gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Enteromycetin should be used with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment. It is contraindicated in neonates and during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should complete the full prescribed course to prevent resistance development.
