I have 29 capsules to take the 3 days prior to root canal. I am allergic to penicillin and iodine and take Fluvoxamine for OCD and lose dose Xanax. I always have panic when I have to start a new med. I am a 65 year old female...is this antibiotic safe? Will it effect my blood pressure as mine AT TIMES runs low (especially at night or after meal.) ## Did you say you have 29 Clindamycin caps to take 3 days before a root canal? Did you mean you have 29 caps and will FINISH them 3 days before a root canal? 29 caps of Clindamycin in 3 days is a heck of a lot of caps to swallow. ...so I'm gonna assume you meant you'll finish the script 3 days before the root canal. As you know Clindamycin is an antibiotic. Your doctor likely prescribed this particular antibiotic because you are allerg...

I just got switched from penicillin to clindamycin 300 mg 3 times a day. My face wasn't puffy and huge like it is now at first. I have started taking it on the 14th. Is this normal for the face to swell up like this and my gums before it kicks in & flu like chills and 100 degree fever? I called the ambulance twice and they said I should call my dentist as soon as possible and I am. I kinda want to wait and see if the antibiotics will kick in or just go back to the ER? HELP ME PLEASE. ## Hello, Rae! How are you doing? Has there been any change? How long have you been taking the Clindamycin? The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking it for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement, after taking it...

I suffer from cystic acne and I use topical clindamycin but I found some penicillin cream in a Hispanic store and I was wondering if I could use it like I do the topical clindamycin? ## If you are allergic to Penicillin, it would be best not to use it in any form. There is a possibility of experiencing allergic reactions, even if you just use it topically. Cystic acne is usually treated with oral antibiotics, which the FDA lists as possibly causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you! I thought I would be but u wanted to make sure before I would try it... I've used the pills but this time the doc gave me the cream... I'll talk to him to see if he might want to prescribe it...

I have a really bad toothache that I think is abscessed. Will Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) help treat the infection? ## Can Bactrim be used for a Tooth Infection? While Bactrim is effective against a range of bacterial infections, it is not typically the first-line antibiotic for treating tooth infections, which are often caused by anaerobic bacteria found in the oral cavity. These infections usually respond better to antibiotics that are specifically effective against the types of bacteria found in dental abscesses, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, or clindamycin, which are more traditionally prescribed by dentists. However, in cases where a patient cannot tolerate these first-line antibiotics or if the infection is caused by a bacteria that is known to be susceptible to...

Just wanted to know if I can use the G & W 3171 pill for a tooth infection? I have some left over from my doctor and I see a bump growing in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's the infection forming by my tooth. I'm in a lot of pain and don't have time to go to a dentist. Can I use these in the meantime? Please help. ## Hi Kera, The pill you're describing is reportedly identified as Clindamycin hydrochloride 150 mg, made by G & W Labs with a National Drug Code of 00713-3171. From what I understand, Clindamycin is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic that I believe if taken correctly could prove useful for a tooth infection.
