Hi, Barry! Sorry about the infection, I hope it clears up fast.

And yes, many strains of MRSA are still susceptible to Clindamycin, but it is becoming increasingly resistant. Thus, there's really no way to say if it's going to work for the infection you have. The only thing you can do is try it and see.

Learn more Clindamcyin details here.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

To know if it's working, you shouldn't see any worsening of the infection after the first 24 hours of taking it and you should start to see improvement after 3 days, if not you'll need to contact your doctor.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

cyclandimycin for staff seems for me the only one to kill the infection, for a time. Had kidneystone surgery & 2 other meds given, were useless. 3 surgery now, went back to the med thatworks for myself. Too much with these surgeries lowered my iimmune system, hit me hard, no communication between my family Dr. & surgeon, HOSPITAL bull policies. patient suffers, plus insurance bull. I'm 71 as of today& my life means a lot to me & my family!! Thanks, Beverly.

I've been suffering from a staph infection for about 7 years now. I went for a lab evaluation and I was told it's staph...I've taken a lot of antibiotics to no avail. Till now am still having something like pimples on my private parts and they're painful if I want to burst them. I don't know if it has affected my kidney or liver... Today I went to a pharmacy and I complained. They dispensed clindamycin 300mg capsules to be taken every six hours... Please, I need advice or help.

Hello Francis,
It is my opinion that you need to go to the hospital and get on an IV.
