FDA warning about OTC diarrhea drug
This imported anti-diarrhea OTC drug (intestinomicina) contains the antibiotic chloramphenicol which was pulled off the US market years ago because it causes SAA. A few years back, it was also used in shrimp farming in China to help control the growth of bacteria on shrimp imported into the US.
