 Bone marrow suppression, nausea, and diarrhoea are common side effects. Suppression of the bone marrow may result in death. Treatment duration should be kept as short as possible to reduce the risk of side effects. People with liver or kidney disease may require lower doses. Gray baby syndrome, which causes a swollen stomach and low blood pressure in young children, can occur. It is not usually advised to use it near the end of a pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that typically inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting protein production.

 Chloramphenicol's original indication was for the treatment of typhoid, but due to the now almost universal presence of multiple drug-resistant Salmonella typhi, it is rarely used for this indication except the time when the organism is held too sensitive to handle the treatment.

 Chloramphenicol is available as a generic worldwide under a variety of brand names, as well as under a number of generic names in Eastern Europe and Russia, including levomycetin, chlornitromycin, and chloromycetin.
