Clindamycin Hcl

I have some Clindamycin 75 mg tabs left over from cat's recent illness. I would like to know if these exact same tabs can be given to dogs as well. I know my dog has had Clindamycin in the past. What is the appropriate dose in a dog weighing approx 18 -22 lbs? ## Yes, they are the same, there is nothing species specific about them, though they may not be considered of a grade for human consumption. Learn more Clinadmycin details here. However, I don't know the dosing protocol for canines. Have you tried asking your vet? Are you sure your dog has an infection? ## I realize that I am replying a bit late, but if this comes up again, consider that you could overdose an animal for which it was not prescribed, and (just like in humans) cause C. Difficule overgrowth by killing other gu...

I have a few left over for my dog is it the same for humans is it safe to take ## Hello, Demoney! How are you? What are the markings on them? Some aren't made to human standards, so it's best to be careful, but I can check for you, if you post back with the markings. Additionally, if you only have leftovers, you may not have enough to full eradicate an infection, which may result in the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Blue and green rx692 and I have over 20count

for infection:bronchitis ## There are a few drugs that contain Clindamycin as the active chemical.

My 13" beagle is 17 yrs old. Has a heart condition. Upper left molar became inflamed. Age and condition of dog id if'y at best for operation. Was given Clindamycin 75 mg 2x a day. this is to reduce swelling of location under left eye. I can not find anything that says this would reduce swelling. Will anything else reduce swelling for the dog?v ## Clindamycin is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent infections. Thus, the swelling is probably caused by an infection and will reduce, as the antibiotic has a chance to work to clear it up. As to anything else you can use, I am sorry, but I am not familiar with the use of most medications in animals, so I don't know what would be safe or effective. Have you tried asking the vet?

I have some clindamycin left over from a few months ago and I was curious if it treats a urinary tract infection ## The drugs most often used to treat routine, uncomplicated UTI's are trimethoprim (Trimpex), trimethoprim/sufamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra, Cotrim), amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox, Wymox), nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Furadantin), and ampicillin [1]. Although Clindamycin is not on the above list, it does not necessarily mean that it won't work. The thing with UTIs is that urine testing and/or medical history may be required to determine the specific bacteria causing the infection. Different meds for different bacetria. Hope this helps.

Why would a dental surgeon recommend a round of this antibiotic during the follow up to wisdom teeth extraction? We got no explanation, but were just told to go on another round of anti-biotics. ## My ear is swollen because I have cleaned it with a bobby pin and gotten it infected. I have a part of a bottle of clindamycin HCL 150mg caps. can these be taken for ear infections? ## Smark, they most likely wanted it to be taken to ensure that an infection doesn't set in, it can be used to prevent infections, as well as treating ones that have already set in. Judy, it is an antibiotic and can be used to treat various types of infections, but the primary concern is that you only have part of a bottle and for an infection to be fully eradicated, you need to take a full course of treatment....

I have clindamycin hcl from 2008. Is it safe to take? ## According to MicroLabs USA, a manufacturer of generic medicine, their Clindamycin tablets have an expected shelf life of 48 months (or 4 years).? [3] However, when it comes to Clindamycin Phosphate, one source I found (Yashoda Hospitals - based in the UK) states that the expiration date of topical Clindamycin gel is only 60 days. [2] Additionally, other forms of topical Clindamycin (such as Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel) have a similar shelf life of 3 months, according to DailyMed. [3] That said, the form it comes in does play an important role in the drug's expected shelf life, efficacy and safety profile after so much time has passed. Hope this helps! ## I have clindamycin 150mg kept in the refrigerator from 3/4/2009....

I started taking Clindamycin 36 hours ago for a tooth infection. Still in extreme pain and more swelling tonight. When will the Clindamycin start helping my infection? ## If you have been taking it for more than 24 hours and the infection/swelling has worsened, that most likely means it is not working and you may need to try a different antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Was this prescribed for you by your doctor, or dentist? Are you on any other medications? ## I have a large gum abcess from a bad tooth and the dentist put me on clindamycin 150 hcl this is my 2nd day of using it and I'm not sure after reading simular post if I should take it more than 2 capsules every 8 hours.

Can clindamycin hcl liquid that was made by pharmacy still be used after 10 days ## Hello, Nika! How are you? No, 10 days is the maximum length of time that efficacy can be guaranteed. Liquids tend to degrade very fast, so once past that 10 days, it will no longer be as effective as it should, which creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. If an antibiotic is still required, it would be best to receive a new prescription from the prescribing doctor. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can one take expired Clindamycin if kept in cold storage? ## If you are referring to the tablets, they are only good for one year from the date of prescribing, after that they should be disposed of. This is an antibiotic, which may cause side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. A liquid or cream formulation has a much shorter shelf-life. How old is the medication in question? ## THE LIQUID CLINDAMYCIN I HAVE IS FROM 3/22/2010.
