Just got completely freaked by reading side effect leaflet with Chloramphenicol Eye Oint. DS (2) has gunky eye infection and we've just been prescribed it. Amongst the side effects it lists on "rare occasions.. childhood leukemia"!! We've called the doctor to see what they say, but I am v.anti giving it to him. I know it says it's rare, but seems mad to take the risk. Any thoughts anyone?? Or am I just being precious...
