The drug can also act as a bactericidal in higher concentrations.
The drug is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. It can also collect at toxic levels in the newborn and very young, as they have difficulty eliminating it from the body. It is, therefore, not recommended to be given in pregnant or lactating animals, or the very young. The drug, in most species, is eliminated by hepatic metabolism.
Acetaminophen will elevate Chloramphenicol levels.
Chloramphenicol may antagonize bactericidal activity of the penicillins and aminoglycosides.
Rifampin may decrease serum chloramphenicol levels.
