Understanding Clindamycin

Precautions To Take

Men, you've got to check yourself! Slow this horse down. Talk to your doctor before they prescribe you clindamycin! They've got to know if you've had asthma, colitis, eczema, or even liver disease. Allergic to Aspirin? What about yellow food dye? They need to know that too! You could need to take another antibiotic if any of those apply to you. You obviously know, but your doctor needs to as well! Everyone knows that!

Taking this as a pill? Drink a glass of water with it. Many, many men choose the liquid form. Obviously you won't forget the dosing spoon! Need it as an injection? The nurse'll help you out the first time. After that, the ball's in your court! You'll have all the knowledge you need from the nurse. Speaking of, you've got to keep this med at room temperature. Never, ever, keep it in the fridge! It's very sensitive to moisture and heat. This is so, so important for the injection in particular!

Scheduled for surgery? Tell your surgeon about this antibiotic! It can interfere with anesthesia. They need to know! Many, many men will need follow-up visits too. And men? Take everything you're prescribed! Don't let the infection take over again. Don't let an antibiotic-resistant one invade either!
