Infrequently, there are severe, rarely fatal, intestinal problems that can occur after use of Cleocin Solution. Consult your doctor immediately if you develop persistent diarrhea, stomach pain, or blood or mucus in your stool. These symptoms may occur weeks after stopping use of Cleocin Solution. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medicines if you have these symptoms. These products may make the symptoms worse. Your doctor will monitor you closely while you are using Cleocin Solution.

Cleocin Solution is used for:

Treating serious infections caused by certain bacteria.

Cleocin Solution is a lincomycin antibiotic. It works by stopping the production of essential proteins needed by certain bacteria to survive.

Do NOT use Cleocin Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Cleocin Solution or to lincomycin
you have meningitis, Crohn disease, antibiotic-associated colitis, or ulcerative colitis

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Cleocin Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Cleocin Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Cleocin Solution:

If the medicine contains particles, is discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged in any way, do not use it.
Cleocin Solution works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
To clear up your infection completely, continue using Cleocin Solution for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.
Dispose of Cleocin Solution, needles, syringes, and other materials properly after use. Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to explain local regulations for selecting an appropriate container and properly disposing of the container when it is full.

Cleocin Solution is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective for treating viral infections (eg, the common cold).
It is important to use Cleocin Solution for the full course of treatment.
