• changes in the blood (anaemia) leading to severe tiredness or easy bruising. Stop using the treatment and consult your doctor if you experience these effects
• the use of topical chloramphenicol may occasionally result in the overgrowth of other non susceptible organisms including fungi
• blurred vision or mild burning or stinging when you put the ointment in, which should subside quickly
