Active against most strains of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms resistant to penicillin, tetracyclines, sulfonamides. It promotes cleansing and healing of burn wounds and trophic ulcers, accelerates epithelialization. Resistance of microorganisms to chloramphenicol develops relatively slowly.
