Levomycetin (Tablets, Capsules, Solution, Drops, Powder) Instructions for Use
ATC Code
J01BA01 (Chloramphenicol)
Active Substance
Chloramphenicol (Rec.INN registered by WHO)
Clinical-Pharmacological Group
Antibiotic of the chloramphenicol group
Pharmacotherapeutic Group
Antibiotic
Pharmacological Action
Broad-spectrum antibiotic. The mechanism of antimicrobial action is associated with the disruption of protein synthesis in the microbial cell at the stage of amino acid transfer by tRNA to ribosomes. It has a bacteriostatic effect.
It is active against gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.; gram-negative bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp., Serratia spp., Yersinia spp., Proteus spp., Rickettsia spp.; also active against Spirochaetaceae, some large viruses.
Chloramphenicol is active against strains resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, and sulfonamides.
Microbial resistance to chloramphenicol develops relatively slowly.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, it is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption – 90%. Bioavailability – 80%. Plasma protein binding – 50-60%, in premature newborns – 32%. Time to reach Cmax after oral administration is 1-3 hours. Vd – 0.6-1 L/kg. Therapeutic concentration in the blood is maintained for 4-5 hours after administration.
It penetrates well into body fluids and tissues. Its highest concentrations are created in the liver and kidneys. Up to 30% of the administered dose is found in bile. Cmax in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is determined 4-5 hours after a single oral dose and can reach 21-50% of the Cmax in plasma in the absence of meningeal inflammation and 45-89% in the presence of meningeal inflammation.
It crosses the placental barrier; concentrations in the fetal serum can be 30-80% of that in the maternal blood. It is excreted in breast milk. The main amount (90%) is metabolized in the liver. In the intestine, under the influence of intestinal bacteria, it is hydrolyzed to form inactive metabolites.
It is excreted by the kidneys within 24 hours – 90% (via glomerular filtration – 5-10% unchanged, via tubular secretion as inactive metabolites – 80%), through the intestine – 1-3%. T1/2 in adults is 1.5-3.5 hours, in case of impaired renal function – 3-11 hours. T1/2 in children from 3 to 16 years old – 3-6.5 hours. It is poorly removed during hemodialysis.
With intravaginal application, it is practically not absorbed and does not have a systemic effect.
Indications
Infectious and inflammatory diseases caused by susceptible microorganisms, including infections of the urinary and biliary tracts.
For external use: in the second phase of the wound process (absence of pus, necrotic tissue), long-term non-healing trophic ulcers, II-III degree burns.
For use in ophthalmology: bacterial eye infections caused by susceptible microorganisms.
For use in gynecology: vaginitis, cervicitis caused by susceptible microorganisms; prevention of purulent-inflammatory diseases in gynecology before invasive procedures (abortion, diathermocoagulation of the cervix, hysterosalpingography, before and after insertion of an intrauterine device).

Other secondary fungal infection.
With intravaginal application allergic reactions, hematopoietic suppression, dyspepsia, dermatitis, suppression of normal microflora, secondary fungal infection, burning sensation during urination or frequent urination, itching, burning pain or hyperemia of the external genital mucosa, burning or irritation of the penis in the sexual partner, vaginal dysbiosis.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to chloramphenicol, bone marrow depression, acute intermittent porphyria, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, hepatic and/or renal failure, pregnancy, lactation period; for oral administration – children under 3 years of age and with body weight less than 20 kg; for use in gynecology – fungal diseases of the vagina, not used in girls before the onset of sexual activity; for use in ophthalmology – children under 4 weeks of age.
With caution
Children, patients who have previously received treatment with cytotoxic drugs or radiation therapy.
Use in Pregnancy and Lactation
Chloramphenicol is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and during the lactation (breastfeeding) period.
Use in Hepatic Impairment
Contraindicated in severe liver dysfunction.
Use in Renal Impairment
Contraindicated in severe renal impairment.
Pediatric Use
Use with caution in children.
Geriatric Use
Use with caution in elderly patients to avoid exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Special Precautions
Use with caution in patients who have previously received treatment with cytotoxic drugs or radiation therapy.
When taken simultaneously with alcohol, a disulfiram-like reaction may develop (skin hyperemia, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, reflex cough, convulsions).
During treatment, systematic monitoring of the peripheral blood picture is necessary.
Uncontrolled prescription of chloramphenicol and its use for mild forms of infectious processes, especially in pediatric practice, is unacceptable.
Drug Interactions
With simultaneous use of chloramphenicol with oral hypoglycemic drugs, an enhancement of the hypoglycemic effect is noted due to the suppression of the metabolism of these drugs in the liver and an increase in their plasma concentration.
With simultaneous use with drugs that depress bone marrow hematopoiesis, an enhancement of the inhibitory effect on the bone marrow is noted.
With simultaneous use with erythromycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, a mutual weakening of the effect 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.
With simultaneous use with penicillins, Chloramphenicol counteracts the manifestation of the bactericidal action of penicillin.
Reduces the antibacterial effect of cephalosporins.
Chloramphenicol suppresses the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, therefore, with simultaneous use with phenobarbital, phenytoin, warfarin, a weakening of the metabolism of these drugs, a slowdown in their excretion, and an increase in their plasma concentration are noted.
Storage Conditions
Store at 2°C (36°F) to 25°C (77°F). Keep in original packaging, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
