Clindamax Gel

Generic Name: Clindamycin Gel (klin-da-MYE-sin)
Brand Name: Examples include Cleocin-T and Clindamax

Clindamax Gel is used for:

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

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

Do NOT use Clindamax Gel if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Clindamax Gel or to lincomycin
you have Crohn disease, antibiotic-associated colitis, or ulcerative colitis

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

Before using Clindamax Gel:

Some medical conditions may interact with Clindamax Gel. 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 a gastrointestinal (bowel) disease or diarrhea

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Clindamax Gel. 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 Clindamax Gel may be decreased

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

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

Clindamax Gel is for topical use on the skin only.
Clean and dry the affected area. Cover the affected and surrounding area with a thin film of medicine.
Clindamax Gel works best if it is used at the same time each day.
To clear up your infection completely, continue using Clindamax Gel for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.
If you miss a dose of Clindamax Gel, 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 Clindamax Gel.

Important safety information:

Clindamax Gel may be harmful if swallowed. If you or someone you know may have taken Clindamax Gel by mouth, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
If severe diarrhea, stomach pain/cramps, or bloody stools occur, contact your doctor at once. This could be a symptom of a serious side effect requiring immediate medical attention. Do not treat diarrhea without consulting with your doctor.
Several weeks may pass before you see improvement in your acne. Continue using Clindamax Gel for the full time recommended by your doctor.
It is important to use Clindamax Gel for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of this treatment and may increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Clindamax Gel and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
