Question:
Is this medicine called CLINAMYCIN related to the penilcin family?
Answers:
In No way: Clyndamycin is kind of a semisynthetic antibiotic derived from lincomycin (a yeast named Streptomyces lincolnensis), and is used to treat infections caused by susceptible microorganisms--like mycoplasms--, while Penicillin refers to a different type of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections--usually Gram-positive.
They differ in origen, in spectrum of action, and in side effects as well.
Good luck! :)
