About clindamycin
About clindamycin
How to get a clindamycin online prescription
You can get clindamycin online by talking to a qualified provider who can assess your symptoms and determine that you have an infection that would be best treated by it. Providers who can prescribe clindamycin or other antibiotics include physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and medical doctors (MDs).
The best way to get a clindamycin online prescription is to find a provider on Klarity Health. A licensed provider can address your symptoms and health. If your provider determines that an antibiotic like clindamycin is the right course of treatment for your symptoms, they may prescribe it and monitor your progress on the medication.
Clindamycin dosages and side effects
Clindamycin dosages and how to use it
Clindamycin is available in capsules, an injection, an oral solution, and oral powder for reconstitution. Clindamycin capsules are the most commonly prescribed. Capsules are available in 150- and 300-milligram doses. Adults typically take 150- to 450 milligrams every 6 hours. If you have a severe infection, your provider will likely prescribe doses of 300 to 450 milligrams. Depending on the type of infection you have, treatment can last from 7 to 14 days.
When prescribing clindamycin, your provider will discuss how to take this medication. Your provider will recommend that you take the full course of treatment.
To avoid esophageal irritation, your provider may recommend that you take clindamycin with a full glass of water. If you’re taking a higher dose, your provider may instruct you to take it 30 minutes before lying down to reduce the likelihood of esophageal irritation. For children or people who are unable to swallow the capsules, your provider may prescribe the oral solution.
If you miss a dose of clindamycin, take it as soon as you remember. But if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip it. Do not double your dose. Do not take expired clindamycin, as it may be less effective.
Keep the container out of reach of children and pets. Clindamycin capsules should be stored at room temperature. Keep your medication away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Clindamycin side effects and warnings
Clindamycin is effective at treating bacterial infections. But, like other medications, clindamycin has the potential for side effects, and there are contraindications.
Hypersensitivity, including mild or moderate skin rashes, is the most commonly reported adverse reaction. Other common side effects of clindamycin include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, and esophagitis. In rare cases, clindamycin may cause esophageal ulcers.
Clindamycin is contraindicated, or not recommended, in cases where someone has a hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction to clindamycin or linomycin. Because clindamycin can affect bacteria in your digestive tract, it’s also not recommended in people with conditions like colitis or diarrhea related to the use of other antibiotics. If you have impaired kidney or liver functioning, your provider may prescribe with caution and monitor your progress.
Clindamycin has a boxed warning (the most serious type of FDA warning) due to the risk of developing Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Clindamycin can affect the amount of helpful bacteria in your colon, which allows C. difficile to overgrow. CDAD can be mild to severe and potentially life-threatening. If you develop symptoms of CDAD, your provider will recommend stopping the medication and starting treatment immediately.
When prescribing clindamycin, your provider will tell you how to take the medicine. For pediatric and adult patients, you’ll take a dose every 6 hours. Clindamycin can be taken with or without food. To reduce irritation of your esophagus, your provider may recommend taking it with a full glass of water and waiting at least 30 minutes before lying down. Your provider will instruct you to take the full course of treatment.
If you miss a dose of clindamycin, take it as soon as you remember. But if it’s close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and maintain your regular dosing schedule. Do not double your dose. If you’re unsure what to do, you can reach out to your provider for guidance.
Store your clindamycin at room temperature. It should be kept away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. It should also be stored away from children and pets.
What does clindamycin cost?
Clindamycin is relatively inexpensive. According to drugs.com, clindamycin may cost you the following:
| Form | Dosage / Quantity | Price |
| Oral capsule | 4 capsules at 150-milligram dose | $10.87 |
| Oral capsule | 9 capsules at 300-milligram dose | $17.21 |
| Oral powder for reconstitution | 100 milliliters (75 milligrams per 5 milliliters) | $28.79 |
| Injectable solution | 50 milliliters (150 milligrams per milliliter) | $32.72 |
| Intravenous solution | 50 milliliters (300 milligrams per 50 milliliters) | $14.67 |
These prices reflect what you may pay before insurance. If your insurance covers clindamycin, you may save on the cost. With or without insurance, you can find drug discount and prescription savings cards on sites like drugs.com, GoodRx, WellRx, and SingleCare RX, which can also help you save money.
How does clindamycin compare to other medications?
Clindamycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. Other commonly prescribed antibiotics include amoxicillin and doxycycline.
Clindamycin is FDA-approved for infections in the respiratory tract, bone and joints, skin, gynecological infections, and dental infections. Amoxicillin is approved for infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, and overgrowth of H. pylori bacteria. Clindamycin is often prescribed when antibiotics like amoxicillin are not suitable due to allergic reactions. Doxycycline is approved to treat sexually transmitted infections, respiratory infections, acne, some dental issues, and malaria and anthrax.
The common side effects of clindamycin, amoxicillin, and doxycycline are similar. They include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions and severe gastrointestinal issues.
Each of these antibiotics has its own uses, advantages, and risks. To find out whether clindamycin or another antibiotic is the right treatment for you, talk to a licensed healthcare provider about your symptoms and medical history.
