Brief Answer: Prescribe only if other antibiotics cannot be used Detailed Answer: Hi, Chloramphenicol is an wide-broad and potent antibiotic that is rarely used due to its severe side effects. It can be prescribed only rare cases to get its potent action. The quantity used depends on the severity of the symptoms. Usually 1 tablet (250 mg) thrice daily is recommended. However, the final decision is up the severity of the symptoms and if other antibiotics cannot be used. Please discuss it further with your doctor! Hope it helped! Let me know if you need further clarifications! Dr.Albana
