- you are allergic to any ingredient in Clindamycin or to lincomycin
- you have certain intestinal problems (eg, antibiotic-associated colitis, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis) or meningitis
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Clindamycin :
Use Clindamycin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Clindamycin by mouth with or without food.
- Take Clindamycin with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL).
- Clindamycin works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
- To clear up your infection completely, take Clindamycin for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
- If you miss a dose of Clindamycin , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
