Patient summary
Indicated to alleviate severe bacterial infections, this antibiotic is utilised to target susceptible aerobic and anaerobic bacteria effectively.
Mechanism of action
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that works by binding to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, which inhibits protein synthesis and suppresses bacterial proliferation.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use with caution. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic supplied as tablets in 150 mg and 300 mg strengths. It is used for severe skin and soft tissue infections and dental abscess. Dalacin is another name for it, and Pfizer is the originator company.
It works by binding to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, which inhibits protein synthesis. Use is reserved for serious infections where less toxic antimicrobial agents are inappropriate; it should not be used for nonbacterial infections such as most upper respiratory tract infections. Severe colitis, which may be fatal, has been associated with clindamycin. Report persistent diarrhoea immediately and complete the full course.
