Flurfenicol is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria isolated from domestic animals. Flufenicol, a fluorinated derivative of chloramphenicol, acts by inhibiting protein synthesis at the ribosome level and has bacteriostatic effects.

Flufenicol does not carry the risk of inducing human aplastic anemia associated with the use of chloramphenicol and is active against some chloramphenicol resistant strains.
