Care settingHome topical treatment after a veterinary eye examination with fluorescein staining
vetman score 5.6/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 001086 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A weak but usable topical eye antibiotic for simple bacterial conjunctivitis or ulcer prophylaxis in dogs. Stain the cornea first, avoid it for melting ulcers, and protect people handling it.

Regulatory and scientific credibility4.5/10

The exact product is registered in Georgia (001086, valid to 2031) with a current O.L.KAR instruction; it has no EU, UK or US authorisation documented in the reviewed evidence or product study, and the register omits the concentration denominator that the instruction gives as 5 mg/ml.

Clinical efficacy5.5/10

Topical chloramphenicol is a long-used broad-spectrum ophthalmic antibiotic with independent class support, but it does not reliably cover Pseudomonas, and twice-daily dosing is less frequent than usual topical antibiotic schedules.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Topical use is low risk for the dog apart from hypersensitivity, but chloramphenicol can cause rare idiosyncratic aplastic anaemia in people, so handlers need gloves and hand washing.

Clinical practicality6.0/10

Two to three drops twice daily for 3-10 days is easy at home, but the opened bottle lasts only 10 days and must be kept in the dark.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Chloramphenicol can cause rare, irreversible aplastic anaemia in people: wear gloves, avoid skin and eye contact and wash hands after use.
  • Stain the cornea first: melting or deep ulcers, and ulcers not healing within a few days, need culture and stronger treatment, as chloramphenicol does not reliably cover Pseudomonas.
  • The label lists incompatibility with quinolones, ristomycin and penicillins and a weaker effect of beta-lactams; avoid combining eye antibiotics without a reason.
  • Amphenicols are EU AMEG Category C (Caution); keep this for confirmed or strongly suspected bacterial eye disease.
  • Use within 10 days of opening; store in the dark at 5-25 C.

vetman score 5.4/10 Weak evidence support
Evidence confidence: Low Georgia: Yes, veterinary · № 001086 · Verified on 21 Oct 2026

A weak option for cats: a usable topical antibiotic for true bacterial eye infection, but most feline conjunctivitis needs antiviral or systemic doxycycline treatment instead. Protect people handling it.

Regulatory and scientific credibility4.5/10

The exact product is registered in Georgia (001086, valid to 2031) with a current O.L.KAR instruction; it has no EU, UK or US authorisation documented in the reviewed evidence or product study, and the register omits the concentration denominator that the instruction gives as 5 mg/ml.

Clinical efficacy5.0/10

Topical chloramphenicol has independent class support for bacterial eye infection, but most feline conjunctivitis is driven by feline herpesvirus or Chlamydia felis, which need antiviral or systemic doxycycline treatment, and twice-daily dosing is infrequent.

Safety and tolerability6.5/10

Topical use exposes the cat to little drug apart from hypersensitivity risk, but chloramphenicol can cause rare idiosyncratic aplastic anaemia in people, so handlers need gloves and hand washing.

Clinical practicality6.0/10

Two to three drops twice daily for 3-10 days is easy at home, but the opened bottle lasts only 10 days and must be kept in the dark.

Full-course cost-effectiveness-

No verified current Georgian price or patient-adjusted course cost was found; foreign prices were not substituted.

Important safety and use flags

  • Chloramphenicol can cause rare, irreversible aplastic anaemia in people: wear gloves, avoid skin and eye contact and wash hands after use.
  • Stain the cornea first: melting or deep ulcers and herpetic dendritic ulcers need specific treatment, not this drop alone.
  • Feline herpesvirus and Chlamydia felis are not cured by a topical antibacterial alone; Chlamydia felis needs systemic doxycycline for all cats in the household.
  • The label lists incompatibility with quinolones, ristomycin and penicillins and a weaker effect of beta-lactams.
  • Amphenicols are EU AMEG Category C (Caution). Use within 10 days of opening and store in the dark at 5-25 C.
