Treatment Summary
Clindamycin is an antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. It is also used to treat acne. Clindamycin is effective against anaerobic bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and gram-negative bacteria. Additionally, it has some activity against protozoans and has been used to treat toxoplasmosis, malaria, and babesiosis. Clindamycin is derived from lincomycin, which was named after Lincoln, Nebraska, where it was first discovered.

Effectiveness
How Clindamycin Phosphate Affects Patients
Clindamycin works by preventing bacteria from making proteins, so it can fight off certain bacterial infections. It needs to be taken every 6 hours to keep the right amount of antibiotic in your body. Clindamycin can cause diarrhea, which can be severe and even deadly, so it is usually only used for serious infections. Clindamycin works against many types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but some may develop resistance. It is important to check the local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns before using clindamycin to make sure it is effective against the bacteria causing your infection.
How Clindamycin Phosphate works in the body
Clindamycin works by interfering with bacterial protein production. It binds to a part of the bacterial ribosome and prevents it from forming correctly. This stops the bacteria from being able to produce proteins, which in turn kills them. For acne, it is believed that clindamycin works by stopping the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria associated with acne.

Clindamycin Phosphate Toxicity & Overdose Risk
The most toxic dose of clindamycin in mice and rats is 2540 mg/kg and 2190 mg/kg, respectively. Although there have been no reported cases of overdose, symptoms could include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In one case, a 3-year-old child was given a large dose of clindamycin and only had mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. In case of overdose, activated charcoal can be used to remove any unabsorbed drug, while hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are not effective. In general, supportive measures should be taken.
