Chloramphenicol Capsules
Indication: 1. Typhoid and other Salmonella infections: This product is the drug of choice for typhoid and paratyphoid caused by sensitive strains. This product is generally not suitable for gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella infection. It can still be used if the condition is serious and there is a possibility of septicemia. In adult typhoid and paratyphoid Salmonella infections, fluoroquinolones are the first choice (pregnant women and children should not use this type of drug). 2. This product can be used as one of the drugs of choice for ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae type B meningitis or Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis meningitis, and sensitive Gram-negative bacillus meningitis in patients allergic to penicillin. 3. Brain abscesses, especially those caused by the ear, are often mixed infections of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. 4. Severe anaerobic infections, such as those caused by Bacteroides fragilis, are especially suitable for those with lesions involving the central nervous system and can be used with aminoglycosides.

When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Trichomoniasis:
In the Female: One-day treatment − Seven-day course of treatment − The dosage regimen should be individualized. Single-dose treatment can assure compliance, especially if administered under supervision, in those patients who cannot be relied on to continue the seven-day regimen. A seven-day course of treatment may minimize reinfection by protecting the patient long enough for the sexual contacts to obtain appropriate treatment. Further, some patients may tolerate one treatment regimen better than the other. Pregnant patients should not be treated during the first trimester (see CONTRAINDICATIONS PRECAUTIONS, Pregnancy When repeat courses of the drug are required, it is recommended that an interval of four to six weeks elapse between courses and that the presence of the trichomonad be reconfirmed by appropriate laboratory measures. Total and differential leukocyte counts should be made before and after re-treatment. In the Male: Treatment should be individualized as it is for the female.
Amebiasis
Adults: For acute intestinal amebiasis (acute amebic dysentery): For amebic liver abscess: Pediatric patients
Anaerobic Bacterial Infections
In the treatment of most serious anaerobic infections, intravenous metronidazole is usually administered initially. The usual adult oral dosage is 7.5 mg/kg every six hours (approx. 500 mg for a 70-kg adult). A maximum of 4 g should not be exceeded during a 24-hour period. The usual duration of therapy is 7 to 10 days; however, infections of the bone and joint, lower respiratory tract, and endocardium may require longer treatment.

Trichomoniasis:
In the Female: One-day treatment − Seven-day course of treatment − The dosage regimen should be individualized. Single-dose treatment can assure compliance, especially if administered under supervision, in those patients who cannot be relied on to continue the seven-day regimen. A seven-day course of treatment may minimize reinfection by protecting the patient long enough for the sexual contacts to obtain appropriate treatment. Further, some patients may tolerate one treatment regimen better than the other. Pregnant patients should not be treated during the first trimester (see CONTRAINDICATIONS PRECAUTIONS, Pregnancy When repeat courses of the drug are required, it is recommended that an interval of four to six weeks elapse between courses and that the presence of the trichomonad be reconfirmed by appropriate laboratory measures. Total and differential leukocyte counts should be made before and after re-treatment. In the Male: Treatment should be individualized as it is for the female.
Amebiasis
Adults: For acute intestinal amebiasis (acute amebic dysentery): For amebic liver abscess: Pediatric patients
Anaerobic Bacterial Infections
In the treatment of most serious anaerobic infections, intravenous metronidazole is usually administered initially. The usual adult oral dosage is 7.5 mg/kg every six hours (approx. 500 mg for a 70-kg adult). A maximum of 4 g should not be exceeded during a 24-hour period. The usual duration of therapy is 7 to 10 days; however, infections of the bone and joint, lower respiratory tract, and endocardium may require longer treatment.
