Cleocin (Clindamycin Hcl)

Do's

• Strictly adhere to your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage, how often to take it (usually four times a day with 6-hour intervals), and for how long. 
• Take Cleocin with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters), with or without food. 
• Take Cleocin at evenly spaced times throughout the day, ideally at the same time(s) each day. This helps maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body for effective treatment. 
• Finish the entire prescribed course of Cleocin even if symptoms improve. Stopping it early can lead to the infection returning. 

Don't's

• Avoid lying down for at least 10 minutes after taking Cleocin.  

Inform your healthcare provider before taking Cleocin if you have any allergies to clindamycin, other medications, or even inactive ingredients in the medication. 

It's vital to tell your healthcare provider about any pre-existing health conditions, especially: 

• Liver disease 
• Kidney disease 
• Stomach/intestinal issues like colitis or C. difficile-associated diarrhea 
• Allergies including asthma, hay fever, or eczema
