Clindamycin Lotion

Generic Name: Clindamycin Topical Lotion (klin-da-MYE-sin)
Brand Name: Examples include ClindaMax and Cleocin-T

Clindamycin Lotion is used for:

Treating severe acne. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Clindamycin Lotion is a topical lincomycin antibiotic. It works by killing sensitive bacteria that cause acne and by reducing the amount of free fatty acids that irritate the skin surface.

Do NOT use Clindamycin Lotion if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Clindamycin Lotion or to lincomycin
you have Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, or colitis associated with antibiotics

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

Before using Clindamycin Lotion:

Some medical conditions may interact with Clindamycin Lotion. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have gastrointestinal (bowel) disease or diarrhea

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

Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants (eg, vecuronium) or succinylcholine because the actions and side effects of these medicines may be increased
Erythromycin because the effectiveness of Clindamycin Lotion may be decreased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Clindamycin Lotion 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 Clindamycin Lotion:

Use Clindamycin Lotion as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Clindamycin Lotion is for topical use on the skin only.
Shake well before use. Clean and dry the affected area. Cover the affected area and surrounding areas with a thin film of medicine.
Clindamycin Lotion works best if it is used at the same time each day.
To clear up your infection completely, continue using Clindamycin Lotion for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.
If you miss a dose of Clindamycin Lotion, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Clindamycin Lotion.
