What is Clindets
ClindamycinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryClindamycin is a type of antibiotic that is used to treat serious infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It is also used to treat acne when applied to the skin. It works by targeting certain bacteria and protozoans. Clindamycin is a semi-synthetic drug that is derived from lincomycin, which was first found in soil in Lincoln, Nebraska. It is more effective than lincomycin and is often used instead.

Effectiveness
How Clindets Affects PatientsClindamycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It needs to be taken every six hours to make sure enough of the drug is in your body. There is a risk of getting an infection called Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) from taking clindamycin, which can range from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis and can happen up to two months after you stop taking the antibiotic. Because of this risk, clindamycin should only be used for serious infections that cannot be treated with less dangerous antibiotics. Clindamycin is effective against many types of bacteria; however, the bacteria can develop
How Clindets works in the bodyClindamycin works by blocking the ribosomes in bacteria from making proteins. It does this by mimicking the shape of molecules that are used to make proteins and preventing them from binding. We don't know exactly how it works to treat acne, but it is thought to be related to its ability to stop the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria that can cause acne.

Clindets Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lowest toxic dose of clindamycin in mice and rats has been found to be 2540 mg/kg and 2190 mg/kg, respectively. Although no overdoses have been reported yet, possible symptoms could include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. One 3-year-old child was given a dose of 100 mg/kg per day for 5 days and only had mild stomach pain and diarrhea. Activated charcoal can be used to remove the drug if it was not absorbed yet. Dialysis is not effective in this case. In the event of an overdose, general supportive measures should be taken.
