Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2014/050537s035,050600s013,050615s012lbl.pdf | http://www.rxlist.com/clindamycin-phosphate-topical-solution-drug.htm

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.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Clindamycin phosphate is the prodrug of clindamycin with no antimicrobial activity in vitro but can be rapidly converted in vivo to the parent drug, clindamycin, by phosphatase ester hydrolysis.

Approved Use

Clindamycin Injection, USP is indicated in the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria. Clindamycin Injection, USP is also indicated in the treatment of serious infections due to susceptible strains of streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. Its use should be reserved for penicillin-allergic patients or other patients for whom, in the judgment of the physician, a penicillin is inappropriate. Because of the risk of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis, as described in the WARNING box, before selecting clindamycin the physician should consider the nature of the infection and the suitability of less toxic alternatives (e.g., erythromycin). Bacteriologic studies should be performed to determine the causative organisms and their susceptibility to clindamycin. Indicated surgical procedures should be performed in conjunction with antibiotic therapy. Clindamycin Injection, USP is indicated in the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the conditions listed below: Lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, empyema, and lung abscess caused by anaerobes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, other streptococci (except E. faecalis), and Staphylococcus aureus. Skin and skin structure infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and anaerobes. Gynecological infections including endometritis, nongonococcal tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic cellulitis, and postsurgical vaginal cuff infection caused by susceptible anaerobes. Intra-abdominal infections including peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscess caused by susceptible anaerobic organisms. Septicemia caused by Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci (except Enterococcus faecalis), and susceptible anaerobes. Bone and joint infections including acute hematogenous osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and as adjunctive therapy in the surgical treatment of chronic bone and joint infections due to susceptible organisms. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of clindamycin and other antibacterial drugs, clindamycin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Sample Use Guides

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.

In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration was 0.03-0.12 ug/ml (Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619) when testing aerobic pathogens and 0.06-0.25 ug/ml (Eubacterium lentum ATCC 43055) when testing anaerobs.
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.
