Does Clindamycin cause constipation?!


Question: Hi - I had a badly infected tooth extracted several days ago and was given Clindamycin to take. Since then, I have not been properly for 2 days - I usually go twice a day. I also feel bloated and uncomfortable, and have had the worst back/knee/ankle aches. Is this normal? (If it is, it's the worst antibiotic I've ever taken!).

One of the actual recognised side effects of Macrolides like clindamycin is diarrhoea. The opposite of what you have so who knows. everyone reacts differently. If symptoms persist see your doc.

ANNA,
CLINDAMYCIN IS A BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC WHICH ALSO KILLS GOOD AS WELL AS HARMFUL BACTERIA IN THE GUT.
DRINK SOME ACIDOPHILUS TO HELP RESTORE THE GOOD BACTERIA.
