Clindamycin is an antibiotic from the lincosamide group (related to lincomycin). It works by slowing or stopping the growth of bacteria. It comes as capsules, a liquid (often used for children), an injection, and products put on the skin for acne. It is a prescription medicine, and it is often used for people, including children, who are allergic to penicillin. WHO lists it as an essential medicine in its "Access" group of antibiotics.
- Serious infections caused by certain bacteria, such as staphylococci and streptococci, and by bacteria that live without oxygen (anaerobic bacteria)
- Bone infections (osteomyelitis) and joint infections
- Necrotising fasciitis, a severe, fast-spreading infection under the skin (WHO lists clindamycin as a first choice)
- Preventing heart valve infection (endocarditis) before some dental and other procedures in people with certain heart problems, often when they are allergic to penicillin
- Acne, as a product put on the skin, usually together with benzoyl peroxide
- Sometimes, when other medicines cannot be used, it is also given for anthrax, malaria or toxoplasmosis (a parasite infection)
Get medical help straight away if
- Get medical help straight away for severe, long-lasting, watery or bloody diarrhoea, or diarrhoea with mucus, stomach cramps or fever. This can be a sign of a serious bowel infection (colitis, including C. difficile). It can start during treatment or even months after the course ends.
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: wheezing or trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, trouble swallowing, a widespread rash or itching, or chest pain.
- Get urgent help for blistering or peeling skin, sore skin, a rash with fever, or mouth or lip swelling. Serious skin reactions are rare but can be life-threatening.
