What is clindimyacin?

Answer 1

Clindamycin is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the skin, respiratory tract, and soft tissues. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of bacteria. Clindamycin is available in oral, topical, and injectable forms and is often prescribed for patients who are allergic to penicillin or for treating anaerobic infections. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances and, in some cases, a risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.
