The drug has an antibiotic effect. The active substance - chloramphenicol (or as it is also called, synthomycin) has a strong antimicrobial effect. Many bacteria completely lose their ability to reproduce, and microorganisms that cause purulent infections, even those resistant to other antibiotics, die. Moreover, the resistance of bacteria to the effects of synthomycin develops rather slowly.
