Avatar n tn The treatment that you have been prescribed is correct. If you are having any side effects then get the antibiotics changed and even oral antibiotics can be added. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn Clindamycin side effects diarrhea that is watery or bloody; fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, sores in your mouth and throat A side effect is usually regarded as an undesirable secondary effect which occurs in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug or medication. Side effects may vary for each individual depending on the person's disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health. dear, drug side effect shows at theraputic dose not in doctors mistake.

Avatar f tn Also, the infection has been treated with numerous antibiotics (amoxicillin, flagyl, omnicef, augmentin, clindamycin), and all seem to help at first, but only clindamycin has lasting effects. Not even augmentin worked. Any idea on what kind of bacteria would respond to clindamycin but not augmentin?
Avatar n tn has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects. HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
Avatar m tn The dentist can prescribe based upon his clinical judgement but generally, clindamycin is prescribed at 150 to 300mg every 6 hours, with 300mg being a stronger dosage to kill bacteria. He may be concerned with some side effects of the antibiotics.
Avatar n tn went to the dentist and he said the infection had gone into my tissue. He put me on Clindamycin on wed.. the lump is still there and the pain had subsided until today. The pain is now really bad. How long does it take for the antibotics to work? have an appt. to have tooth pulled out on the 14th. How long should I give the lump to go down before going to ER for Iv antibiotics?
1212365 tn?1329968536 I tried looking for the side effects but it was telling me basic stuff and it stated that it had more to it I just needed to ask a doctor. So now I'm asking....
Avatar m tn Endodonist said there was pus -- infection. I have had allergic reaction to Levaquin and AzitheraI and have had side effects diarrhea and lightheaded from Cefdinir and Cephalexin so he prescribed Cipro 500mg. Said he doesn't usually prescribe but given that it have taken Cipro 250mg in the past (or urinary tract infection with no side effects. Is Cipro as effective as other antibiotics for dental infection?
Avatar m tn ve read indicates that it is very harsh on the digestive system when the body process it (all medications have a toxic byproduct, which causes side effects, but normally this amount is minimal) and bowel symptoms are a frequent side effect of this medication. Someone who already has UC, but may not be experiencing significant symptoms would therefore be put into a "flare" mode which would prompt diagnosis.
Avatar m tn I think you should stop taking the medication and speak to your MD to check out the side effects that you are experiencing.
Avatar n tn I would check out the meds again, just to be on the safe side, as meds do have side effects try to take them off one at a time see if it makes a differance,you are on quite a mix of meds.
4451049 tn?1387153437 So I recently tested positive for Bartonella and Babesia. Also positive for Anaplama, mycoplasma pneumonia, and of course - Lyme. Treatment is making me feel so bad. And it doesn't go away as you may expect of a herxheimer. I'm on Clindamycin now and I'm pretty sure this one is doing some killing, not just side effects. I've been giving in on a lot of medications, mainly due to unacceptable side effects.
Avatar f tn Hi I Was Recently Sick and Had To Begin taking an antibiotic called Clindamycin. Will I Be Okay To Drink Alcohol While On This Medication. I Have Read That This Antibiotic Doesn't Have Any Negative Affects While Drinking Alcohol. But Just Wanted To Double Check.
Avatar f tn about a year ago i was proscribe clindamycin and ever since then i been having problems i was taking it after i got my root canal done i was taking it four times a day of 300mg one day i had uncontrollable diarrhea that was orange i kept taking the the medication for a few more days and i kept on having diarrhea then i stopped taking it. it took about a week to stop having diarrhea but then my pooh started to have mucus in it.
Avatar f tn t take it I will most likely lose my kidneys. I refused because the antibiotics have serious side effects for long term use and there is more than just me to think about. I am not comfortable risking the baby...
72351 tn?1281992542 it does sound like an infection, but in my opinion, it is too risky to give the baby the clindamycin w/ out taking him/her to the vet. Way too risky and clindamycin might not be the correct antibiotic for the kitten's problem. Please come back w/ an update. Wishing the best for the kitten.
Avatar m tn Hi there. I don't know a doctor that doesn't have an on call policy meaning that yes, the office is closed but doctors are on call. You call the office and you will get a recording that says three things 1, if it can wait, call back during office hours, 2. if this is a life threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room or 3. to speak with the physician on call, do X. In this scenario you want number 3.
Avatar m tn Most of the time, after each visit I get a mild breakout of small pimples that go away in a few days. There was one located on the left side right at the line where the hair ends. it rubbed against my shirt and/or coat collar and became infected (after I picked at it). Now it is infected with swelling and pain going down the side of my neck almost to the collarbone.
Avatar n tn I looked up side effects online for this antibiotic and you were right to stop taking it Definitely talk to your doctor It clearly says discontinue use if you experience any bleeding
Avatar f tn About a week ago after I finished the clindamycin I had absolute crazy diarrhea, abdominal pain(mostly radiating from my right side) and loss of appetite. I was tested for cdiff. By my dr and the test came back -. My GI seems to think I my gallbladder was the culprit sent me for an ultrasound and that came back - for gallbladder problems. It did point out that I have a slightly fatty liver though. Can an ultrasound miss gallbladder issues?
Avatar f tn Honestly it was the side effects that made me extremely anxious to even take it.
