Paraxin 500 Capsule contains Chloramphenicol 500mg, a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic reserved for serious infections where other antibiotics may not be suitable. It is prescribed cautiously by physicians and used when clinically justified due to its powerful antibacterial mechanism.

How It Works: Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibits the peptidyl transferase step of bacterial protein synthesis. This results in bacteriostatic action against a wide range of gram-positive, gram-negative organisms, and anaerobes.

Common Uses: Paraxin 500 is indicated for typhoid fever and salmonella infections, serious anaerobic infections, meningitis caused by susceptible organisms, and infections resistant to safer first-line antibiotics as determined by your physician.

Administration: Paraxin 500 is taken as directed by your doctor, usually every 6 hours. Regular blood monitoring may be recommended during extended courses. Do not self-medicate and strictly follow the prescribed regimen throughout treatment.

Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light. Keep safely out of children's reach.

Disclaimer: Prescription required. This antibiotic is reserved for serious infections due to potential adverse effects. Use only under strict medical supervision.
