  • Serious Side Effects:
    • Aplastic Anemia: A rare but serious condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, leading to anemia and increased risk of infections.

Precautions:

  • Blood Disorders: Patients with a history of blood disorders should use chloramphenicol with caution due to the risk of aplastic anemia.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Chloramphenicol should generally be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless absolutely necessary, as it can cross the placenta and affect the fetus.
  • Liver and Kidney Function: Caution is required in patients with liver or kidney impairment, as the drug's metabolism and excretion may be affected.
  • Drug Interactions: Chloramphenicol can interact with other medications, including anticoagulants and certain antidepressants, necessitating careful monitoring.
