Precautions and Warnings in Depth

Drug Recommendations

If you are allergic to Clindamycin or any of its components, do not use it. If you have liver disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease (colitis, which is an inflammation of the colon), or allergic disorders, tell your doctor (asthma, hay fever, eczema). Clindamycin should not be used during immunizations with live bacterial vaccines (typhoid vaccine), since it may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. Clindamycin injections may contain benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which might cross the placenta in pregnant women and induce gasping syndrome (multiple organ failure) in children. Clindamycin should not be used during nursing since it can pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea, candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash), and, in rare cases, blood in the stool. As a result, Clindamycin should only be used during pregnancy and nursing with the advice of a doctor. Antibiotic treatments can sometimes lead to antibiotic resistance. In such circumstances, your doctor may give antibiotics to which you are not allergic.

Interactions Between Drugs

Antibiotics (erythromycin), anticoagulants (warfarin, acenocoumarol, and fluindione), and neuromuscular blocking drugs may all interact with clindamycin.

Clindamycin’s adverse effects may be lessened if you avoid drinking alcohol.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Before using Clindamycin, tell your doctor if you have any liver or kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease (colitis, which is an inflammation of the colon), or allergies (asthma, hay fever, eczema).

Safety Suggestions

ALCOHOL

Alcohol should not be used while taking Clindamycin because it may exacerbate the negative effects.

BREAST FEEDING

Clindamycin should not be used during nursing since it can pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea, candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash), and, in rare cases, blood in the stool.

Recommendations

Patients with severe liver disease should have their liver function monitored (liver function tests).

Clindamycin should be used in conjunction with a regular blood profile.

Clindamycin can induce Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), thus it’s a good idea to get your intestines checked on a frequent basis.

When Clindamycin is used with anti-coagulants, coagulation (blood clotting) tests are advised.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

When harmful bacteria develop in the body and cause illness, this is known as bacterial infection. It can infect and multiply in any area of the body extremely quickly. Bacteria are classified as spherical, rod-shaped, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria can be gram-positive (have a thick cell wall) or gram-negative (have a thin cell wall) (do not have a cell wall). Cough, fever, and exhaustion are some of the most frequent signs of a bacterial infection. Acne is a skin ailment that occurs when oil and dead skin cells clog the hair follicles. Whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples are all possible side effects.
