Description

Clindamycin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is available in different dosage forms such as a tablet, capsule, injection, gel, cream, and lotion. The oral and injectable forms of this medicine are used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs, skin, bones, joints, stomach, and intestine. The topical forms are used to treat acne. Clindamycin stops the growth of bacteria that is causing the infection. Clindamycinis an antibacterial medicine, hence it is not effective against infections caused by viruses.

How To Take

Clindamycin dosage instructions depend on the form in which it is taken. The oral forms of Clindamycin should be taken with or without food in a dose and for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Clindamycin injectables will be given by your doctor in the hospital setting. For topical forms, apply the required amount of this medicine to the affected area as advised by your doctor. Make sure to complete the treatment course, as stopping antibiotic treatment early may not kill all the bacteria and the remaining bacteria may become resistant to the antibiotic. This may increase the risk of relapse of the infection.

Precaution

Clindamycin can cause diarrhea, which may be severe or lead to serious, life-threatening intestinal problems. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop using this medicine and call your doctor. Before using clindamycin, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, an intestinal disorder such as colitis or Crohn's disease, or a history of asthma, eczema, or allergic skin reaction. Take clindamycin for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Clindamycin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
