Effectiveness
How Cleocin Phosphate Affects PatientsClindamycin is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from making proteins. It has to be taken every six hours to make sure it is working effectively. Clindamycin can cause severe diarrhea, even up to two months after taking the medication which can be life-threatening. It mostly works on gram-positive bacteria and some anaerobic bacteria, but there can be resistance. Before taking this medication, it is important to check the local antibiotic resistance patterns for common pathogens.
How Cleocin Phosphate works in the bodyClindamycin works by blocking the production of proteins in bacteria. It does this by attaching to the ribosomes, which are the parts of cells that make proteins. It then prevents the ribosomes from making proteins. For acne, it is thought that clindamycin works by killing the bacteria that causes acne.
When to interrupt dosage
The dosage of Cleocin Phosphate is contingent upon the determined situation, such as viridans group streptococci, Vaginal Infections and Surgical Intervention. The measure shifts as indicated by the technique for delivery (e.g. Cream - Vaginal or Suspension - Topical) recorded in the table beneath.Condition

Description
Astemizole
Major
The metabolism of Astemizole can be decreased when combined with Clindamycin.
Axitinib
Major
The metabolism of Axitinib can be decreased when combined with Clindamycin.
Bromocriptine
Major
The serum concentration of Bromocriptine can be increased when it is combined with Clindamycin.
Cabazitaxel
Major
The metabolism of Cabazitaxel can be decreased when combined with Clindamycin.
Cabergoline
Major
The serum concentration of Cabergoline can be increased when it is combined with Clindamycin.
Cleocin Phosphate Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe toxic dose of clindamycin in mice and rats has been measured at 2540 mg/kg and 2190 mg/kg, respectively. While no overdose cases have been reported, symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In one instance, a 3-year-old child was given 100 mg/kg of the drug daily for 5 days and only experienced mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. Activated charcoal can be used to remove unabsorbed clindamycin from the body, but dialysis is not effective. In cases of overdose, general supportive care is recommended.

Patient Q&A Section about cleocin phosphate
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What is Cleocin Phosphate used for?
"It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu).
This medication is used to treat bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic only treats bacterial infections and won't work for viral infections."
Answered by AI
Is Cleocin a penicillin?
"Is Cleocin the same as penicillin?
Cleocin (clindamycin hydrochloride) and penicillin are both antibiotics used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. However, they belong to different antibiotic drug classes. Cleocin is a lincomycin antibiotic and penicillin is a penicillin antibiotic."
Answered by AI
Is Cleocin a strong antibiotic?
"Yes, Clindamycin is a powerful broad-based antibiotic that is prescribed by doctors to treat severe infections, including MRSA infections that can be fatal. It is effective against various bacterial infections, including those that can survive without air."
Answered by AI
What infections does Cleocin treat?
"Clindamycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections that are serious. This antibiotic is effective against a few different kinds of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Propionibacterium acnes. Clindamycin works by reducing the growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to make proteins."
