Description

Clindamycin hydrochloride is the hydrated hydrochloride salt of clindamycin. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic antibiotic produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of the parent compound lincomycin. Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome. It has activity against Gram-positive aerobes and anaerobes as well as some Gram-negative anaerobes.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Intravenous and Intramuscular: 600-1200 mg/day in 2,3 or 4 equal doses; for the more severe infections: 1200-2700 mg/day in 2,3 or equal doses. Doses of as much as 4800 mg daily have been given intravenously. Single intramuscular injection of greater than 600 mg not recommended. Topical: apply a thin film of solution, lotion or gel twice daily to affected area.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for clindamycin against Staph. Aureus is 0.5 ug/ml with 97% of strains inhibited at this level. For anaerobes, the MIC is 1.6 ug/ml.
