Question: Have you ever taken Clindamycin or know anything about it!?
I had one of my back tooth pulled yesterday!. I have a bad infection and the dentist prescribed me clindamycin!. I read the warning signs on the paper for the med and it said that it could cause colitis, I'm worried about this!. How common is this problem!? I have been taking the meds but I would like a new prescription, but the dentist is closed for the holiday!. Has anyone ever taken clindamycin!? Or could you tell me more about it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
A possible adverse reaction to clinda is pseudomembraneous colitis!. It's not a common reaction and I doubt that it will happen to you!. If you should experience diarrhea, don't treat it yourself! Notify your physician and report that you're on clindamycin therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have taken clindamycin many times for infections, frequently prior to extractions!. The most common side effect I have had with this particular antibiotic is that I tend to get yeast infections!. You may want to eat yogurt while on clindamycin!. It can help prevent yeast infections if you are prone to them!.
As far as the colitis is concerned, it is a rare side effect, however, if you do get diarrhea, get medical attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
