What is Clindamycin Phosphate?
Clindamycin Phosphate is a generic topical antibiotic used to treat acne or vaginal infections, but is also available as an injection to treat serious bacterial infections. Clindamycin Phosphate belongs to a class of antibiotics called lincosamides, which block the ability of bacteria to produce proteins needed to reproduce. Clindamycin Phosphate is administered topically in one of several formats: lotion, cream, foam, or gel. Clindamycin Phosphate penetrates the skin and stops the bacteria from growing, giving the immune system a better chance to effectively fight off the infection.
As an injection, Clindamycin Phosphate is prescribed to treat serious infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, that is, bacteria that do not require oxygen to live and grow. This includes lower respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, skin infections, endometriosis, abdominal infections, septicemia (bacteria in the blood), and bone/joint infections.
What are the side effects of Clindamycin Phosphate?
While medicines may have side effects, many people experience no or minimal side effects. The side effects of Clindamycin Phosphate will depend on how it is administered. Topical administration will produce fewer and less severe side effects than an injection.
The most common side effects of the topical administration of Clindamycin Phosphate are site reactions such as burning, stinging, and discomfort. Vaginal discharge may also occur when applying Clindamycin Phosphate to vaginal tissues.
When taken as an injection – or if Clindamycin Phosphate is absorbed into the bloodstream when applied topically – common side effects include abdominal pain, colon infections, nausea, diarrhea, and bloody diarrhea. The most serious side effect is a severe infection of the intestines caused by a type of resistant bacteria which can happen weeks or months after treatment has been discontinued. If you experience persistent diarrhea or abdominal cramping, consult with a physician immediately.
Clindamycin Phosphate allergies are common. Allergic reactions include hives, rashes, and fever. The most serious allergic reaction is anaphylactic shock, a dangerous and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. Consult a physician immediately if you experience a Clindamycin Phosphate allergic reaction.
