How Long Does Clindamycin Remain In Your System After Finishing Treatment (Page 2)

I am finishing a 7 day dose of clindamycin 300 mg taken once every 8 hours on Friday, which leaves me with no weekend coverage if dental infection isn't gone. My dentist told me yesterday that it can remain in my system for awhile, is this true? If so, for how long?

My wife took this medication. It got stuck in her esophagus and caused severe pain and burned her esophagus. She spent several days in the hospital. If you take this medication, take it sitting up and take it with a huge amount of water

Beware. Clindomycin is a very strong antibiotic. If it is prescribed to you read the instructions and follow them. I had a negative reaction to it. I got severe dysentary, throwing up and couldnt eat. It made a mess of my digestive system and it hasnt been the same since. I ended up in the hospital for a week.
Be very careful with this medicine.

I took Clindamycin for 7 days in June 2017. I had blood work done in oct and my kidney function dropped dramatically since my last test in may. Could Clindamycin have caused kidney damage.?

I’m on day 5 and have the stomach/esophagus burning. It appears that the ‘do not lay down for 10 min’ warning is to prevent this.

I have GERD so I’m familiar with the reflux pain but before I knew I had GERD I definitely thought I was having a heart attack. This caused my heart to race and skip from anxiety.

You should get it checked out but it sounds similar to my situation.

Excellent suggestion. ENT's are specialist in this area.

Well, add severe joint pain to that list. I've been prescribed it too many times I think now time to take something else. Maybe this is why I am needing to have this infected tooth extracted and why treatment failed. Maybe they should never have put me on this antibiotic to begin with. Maybe that's why the origin of infection same area never went away, even after root canal treatment.

I’m in the same boat as you. I took 4 300mg over two days and have been very ill for two weeks now. Flu like symptoms, muscle weakness, dizziness and terrible joint pain (I’m 33). Doc wants me on prednisone but I’m hesitant.

I took 300mg 3 times a day for 7 days. I was supposed to take it for 10 days but had to stop because it messed up my mouth something fierce. Swollen bumps on the back of my tongue and made my tongue turn white with horrible cotton mouth. My mouth is still not right and I have been off it for about 6 days now. It’s drivi g me insane. Nothing taste right and my tongue burns and the saliva in my mouth is kinda foamy. HELP
