Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Sulfacetamide sodium is a sulfonamide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial dihydropteroate synthase, blocking folate synthesis and exerting bacteriostatic effects.
Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing peptide bond formation.
Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) every 4 hours while awake.
Chloramphenicol 0.5% ophthalmic solution: Instill 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) every 3-4 hours for 7-10 days. For severe infections, every 2 hours initially. Ointment: Apply a small amount (about 0.5 cm) into the conjunctival sac every 3-4 hours.
