Clindamycin treats bacterial infections, not viral infections. This is important because using antibiotics for viral infections is ineffective and can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Clindamycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This clarifies how the medication fights bacterial infections. Misusing antibiotics can make them less effective in the future. This emphasizes the importance of using antibiotics only when prescribed by a healthcare provider and following their instructions exactly.
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.  
Common Side Effects:
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Diarrhea
  • Skin rash
  • Itching
  • Vaginal itching or discharge
Serious Side Effects:
  • Allergic reactions, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat
  • Severe skin reactions, including blistering, peeling, or a rash that spreads and causes skin pain
  • Abdominal or stomach cramps, pain, or tenderness
  • Diarrhea that is watery or bloody
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes
  • Unusual bruising or bleeding
  • Loss of appetite
  • Dark urine
  • Pale stools
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Muscle aches
  • Severe weakness
This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Cleocin,  contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
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 
Cleocin can interfere with the effectiveness of live bacterial vaccines. Inform your healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations while on this medication. Disclose all medications you take, including Cleocin, to your healthcare provider before any surgery. Be aware that older adults may experience increased side effects from Cleocin, particularly diarrhea. Consult your healthcare provider before taking Cleocin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
