What is Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride
ClindamycinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryClindamycin is a type of antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. It can be taken orally or used topically on the skin to treat acne. It is more effective than its predecessor, lincomycin, and works against certain anaerobic bacteria, gram-positive cocci, bacilli, and gram-negative bacilli. Clindamycin also has some off-label uses in the treatment of toxoplasmosis, malaria, and babesiosis. It was first isolated in Lincoln, Nebraska from a soil sample and derived from lincomycin.

Effectiveness
How Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride Affects PatientsClindamycin works by stopping bacteria from making proteins, which helps stop them from multiplying. It must be taken every 6 hours to be effective. Taking clindamycin can lead to severe diarrhea and colitis, so it should only be used for serious infections where other antibiotics won't work. This drug is effective against many types of bacteria, but may not work against bacteria that have become resistant to it. Depending on the area, some bacteria may be resistant to this drug, so it's important to check with local health professionals to make sure it will work.
How Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride works in the bodyClindamycin works by preventing bacteria from forming proteins. It does this by blocking the ribosome, a molecule responsible for making proteins. Clindamycin does this by imitating the shape of molecules that help make proteins. This stops bacteria from producing proteins that help it to survive. For acne, clindamycin works by attacking the bacteria that is associated with acne.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed measure of Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride is contingent upon the diagnosed state, including viridans group streptococci, Vaginal Infections and Surgical Intervention. The measure of dosage is contingent upon the procedure of administration (e.g. Cream - Vaginal or Suspension - Topical) laid out in the table beneath.Condition

Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe toxic dose of clindamycin in mice and rats is 2540mg/kg and 2190mg/kg, respectively. Although no cases of overdose have been reported, the symptoms may be similar to the side effects associated with clindamycin, such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In one case, a 3-year-old child who was given a 100mg/kg daily dose for 5 days had only mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. Activated charcoal may be used to remove any unabsorbed drug, but dialysis will not be effective. General supportive measures are recommended in cases of clind

Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride Reviews: What are patients saying about Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride?
5Patient Review
9/7/2019 I had four bug bites that became infected on my leg. The redness and heat were spreading quickly. After just two doses, I noticed a difference in the healing process. So far, there have been no side effects!
4.7Patient Review
5/26/2009 My daughter had an infected spider bite that tested positive for MRSA. We started using CP Soap 3 times a day and after the first day, saw real results. The infection gradually went away with no adverse effects noted.
3.3Patient Review
8/3/2011 The taste of this medicine is incredibly unpleasant, as other reviewers have noted. However, it has been very effective in reducing the size of my daughter's infection overnight. If you can get your child to take it, it's definitely worth considering.
3.3Patient Review
4/15/2013 It was very difficult to get our 14 month old to take this medication because of the taste and smell. We tried chocolate syrup, but it only worked a couple of times. We ended up using dark fudge cake frosting, which helped a little bit. It still wasn't easy, but I'm glad the medication cleared up her infection.
2.3Patient Review
5/30/2012 Unfortunately, I had to stop using this medication after a few days due to some bothersome side effects. These included a rash on my right forearm as well as a dull headache. My doctor is currently prescribing something else for me.
1Patient Review
4/4/2009 The smell of this medication made me nauseous. I was not surprised that my 4 year old autistic child could not tolerate it either; it's incredibly pungent.
1Patient Review
1/24/2011 My two year old son couldn't keep this down because of the taste and smell.
