Take Care as directed by your doctor to ensure complete eradication of infection. Do not take this medicine longer than prescribed to avoid bacterial resistance.

Care is bacteriostatic at the therapeutic dose that means it inhibits the growth of the bacteria but it can be bactericidal at higher doses. It works by inhibiting the protein synthesis in bacteria which it needs to survive. In the absence of protein synthesis, the bacterial growth is stunned and slowed.

Care contains chloramphenicol which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting the protein synthesis in bacteria which needs to survive. In the absence of protein, the bacterial growth is stunned and slowed. It can also kill the bacteria in higher doses. Care is effective against a wide range of both gram negative and gram positive bacteria such as Salmonella species, Rickettsia species, Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus pneumoniae.
