IPNet drug reports

Uneventful use reported in 3 patients with acute porphyria. One report of an acute porphyric attack in a susceptible male with AIP, but the attack was poorly documented. This report has therefore not been taken into account in the judgement of the porphyrinogenicity of chloramphenicol eye drops.

Tradenames and packages

From some sources, we get a list of packages (United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia). Other sources contain more or less "clean" versions of the trade name (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway). What you see here is the raw data we get from each country, so there will appear to be duplicates. The bold names are the searchable terms. The gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.

Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors. We strive to improve it continuously.
