  • Title: [Chloramphenicol, contraindicated for topical use on the eye?].
    Author: Slappendel RJ, van Miert AS, Stades FC.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1985 Feb 15; 110(4):143-4. PubMed ID: 3975894.
    Abstract:
    It was calculated in the Dutch bulletin for drugs, that chloramphenicol--even in topical treatment--should only be used in human bacterial infections in which the bacteria are solely susceptible to chloramphenicol. Information is supplied stating that these conclusions are based on wrongly chosen patients. It is concluded that the indications for use of topical chloramphenicol in dogs or cats continue to be unchanged.
