What type of infection is Clindamycin used for?

Answer 1

In English speaking countries, Clindamycin (klin da MYE sin) is the generic form of the brand names of: Cleocin HCl (Clindamycin hydrochloride) or Cleocin Pediatric. Clindamicina is the name in Spanish-speaking countries.

The chemical name for Clindamycin hydrochloride is:

Methyl 7 - chloro - 6,7,8 - trideoxy - 6 - (1 - methyl - trans - 4 - propyl - L - 2 - pyrrolidinecarboxamido) - 1 - thio - L - threo - α - D - galacto - octopyranoside monohydrochloride.

Clindamycin is part of the "-mycin" family of drugs, so if you are allergic to one type of "-mycin" then you should NOT take ANY other drug ending with "-mycin".

Clindamycin is one of the stronger antibiotics, used to treat infection. You may be prescribed this med if you have a severe infection, or if your body has become too used to lower level antibiotics. After decades of over-prescribing, doctors now find that many germs have become resistant to the usual antibiotics, and so, must use a stronger one.

Clindamycin HCL is most often given for very serious respiratory baterical infections, such as bacterial pneumonia, or for a respiratory infection in a patient with a chronic respiratory disease such as emphysema.

You should not take any other antibiotic at the same time unless instructed to do so. Many antibiotics can cause severe and life-threating reactions when taken together.

All antibiotics should be taken completely as prescribed, even if you feel better sooner.

Report any adverse effect immediately, such as rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, or any other reaction you might experience.

Answer 2

Clindamycin, a derivative from Lincomycin, is an antibiotic used to treat infections, examples-cold sores, sinus infections, etc.. It is stronger than Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Lincomycin, etc., and used when other antibiotics aren't strong enough to do the job.

I'm no doctor, but that should do the trick. Though you should consult a physician before taking this drug. Never try to treat an illness or infection with medication that hasn't prescribed to you by a licensed provider.
