Clindamycin Foam

Generic Name: Clindamycin Foam (klin-da-MYE-sin)
Brand Name: Evoclin

Clindamycin Foam is used for:

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

Clindamycin Foam 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 Foam if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Clindamycin Foam or to lincomycin
you have Crohn disease or a history of severe bowel problems (eg, regional enteritis), ulcerative colitis, or colitis associated with antibiotic use

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

Before using Clindamycin Foam:

Some medical conditions may interact with Clindamycin Foam. 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 Foam. 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 Foam may be decreased

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

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

Clindamycin Foam is for topical use on the skin only.
Wash the affected areas to be treated with mild soap and water and allow the skin to dry thoroughly.
To use Clindamycin Foam, hold the can upright and dispense the amount of medicine to be used directly into the cap or onto a cool surface. Pick up small amounts of the foam with your fingertips and gently massage it into the affected areas until the foam disappears.
If the can seems warm or the foam seems runny, hold the can under cold running water to cool it. Do not dispense the medicine directly onto your skin or hands because it will melt too soon.
Throw away any unused medicine that has been dispensed out of the can.
If you miss a dose of Clindamycin Foam, 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. Do not use 2 doses at once.

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