The composition of 185 Spanish compounds containing chloramphenicol, along with the information supplied in ther package inserts, were studied. Only 11 of these compounds contained chloramphenicol alone, this antibiotic being associated with other chemotherapeutic agents and/or other drugs in the remainder. Indications listed in the leaflet largely went beyond the limits of the medically established uses of chloramphenicol, and information concerning side effects, contraindications, or precautions was scanty and in some instances even confusing. A change in the availability of drug combinations containing chloramphenicol and an improvement of the information accompanying them is urged.
