What is Clindesse

ClindamycinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryClindamycin is a type of antibiotic that can be used to treat a range of bacterial infections. It is most effective against anaerobic bacteria, gram-positive cocci and bacilli, and gram-negative bacilli. It can also be used off-label to treat protozoal infections such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, and babesiosis. Clindamycin is a semi-synthetic form of lincomycin, a naturally occurring antibiotic discovered in soil samples from Lincoln, Nebraska. It is a more effective form of the drug, and it has largely replaced lincomycin in

Effectiveness

How Clindesse Affects PatientsClindamycin is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria. It needs to be taken every 6 hours to work properly. Clindamycin can cause severe diarrhea, especially in those who use it for a long time. It can also cause overgrowth of a dangerous bacteria, _Clostridium difficile_. Therefore, it should only be used to treat serious infections when other, less toxic drugs won't work. Clindamycin works against a variety of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative anaerobes. However, resistance to clindamycin can develop, so it's important to
How Clindesse works in the bodyClindamycin prevents bacteria from reproducing by stopping their proteins from being made. It does this by blocking the bacterial ribosome's ability to assemble and translate the proteins. Clindamycin's shape is similar to certain molecules in the bacteria, which helps it to interfere with their protein production. We don't know exactly how it helps to clear up acne, but it may have something to do with its ability to fight the bacteria that causes it.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested measure of Clindesse is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, including viridans group streptococci, Vaginal Infections and Surgical Intervention. The degree of dosage can be found in the following table, depending on the method of delivery (e.g. Cream - Vaginal or Suspension - Topical).

Clindesse Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe most toxic dose of clindamycin in mice was 2540mg/kg and in rats it was 2190mg/kg. There have not been any reports of overdose yet, but symptoms could include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In clinical trials, one 3-year-old child was given a daily dose of 100mg/kg for 5 days and only had mild stomach pain and diarrhea. Activated charcoal can be used to help remove unabsorbed drug, but dialysis is not effective. General supportive care is recommended in cases of clindamycin overdose.

Clindesse for Vaginosis caused by Bacteria
Cleocin did not help with the burning or pain associated with my bacterial vaginosis and, in fact, made it much worse. It also caused nausea and stomach pains. I'm now trying boric acid suppositories at the recommendation of my doctor.

Clindesse for Vaginosis caused by Bacteria
I didn't experience any of the negative side effects I read about before taking this medication. There was some light discharge for the first few days, but nothing a liner couldn't handle. All in all, this treatment was very successful and only cost me $125 with insurance.

Clindesse for Vaginosis caused by Bacteria
I am using the vaginal insert, not the pill. How long until the odor is gone?

Clindesse for Vaginosis caused by Bacteria
Worked very quickly and overnight as advertised. The horrible smell was gone by the morning, which is a huge relief. I usually get bacterial vaginosis (BV) constantly, and my doctor usually prescribes me Flagyl; however, that always makes me violently ill. With this product, I only had mild pelvic pain and white, clumpy discharge; but it's way better than explosive and painful diarrhea.

Clindesse for Vaginosis caused by Bacteria
Though it may make sex feel quite uncomfortable, this medication really helped me clear up a tough bacterial infection. I had tried other prescribed medications to no avail, but Clindesse did the trick within just a day or so.

How long does Clindesse stay in the vagina?

"If you have sex while the mineral oil is still in your vagina, your condom or vaginal diaphragm could break.

The mineral oil in Clindesse (clindamycin) can make latex products like condoms and vaginal diaphragms weaker. It stays in your vagina for 5 days after you use it, so if you have sex during that time, your condom or vaginal diaphragm could break."
