Chloromycetin

In desperation the rescue teams switched to a more powerful antibiotic, lacing a dozen squid with about 50 tablets each of Chloromycetin and pushing them down Physty's throat.

The cut was bound to shake down prices of terramycin's two great competitors, Lederle's aureomycin and Parke, Davis' chloromycetin.

Though Chloromycetin causes these severe reactions in only one of an estimated 10,000 patients, Mrs. Love's attorney charged that Dr. Wolf had been negligent in prescribing it for such minor ailments.

The chief recommendation is that doctors using Chloromycetin for long-term or repeated treatment should keep close check on their patients' blood-cell counts.

By far the biggest offender was Chloromycetin, with 56 cases charged against it.
