CLINDAMYCIN (Calidin) 300mg Capsules – Product Description
Clindamycin 300mg capsules, sold under the brand name Calidin, are a prescription antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. This medication belongs to the lincosamide class and is effective against many anaerobic bacteria and certain aerobic gram-positive bacteria.
Calidin is commonly prescribed for infections involving the skin, respiratory tract, bones and joints, dental infections, and intra-abdominal conditions. It is also used for pelvic infections and septicemia.
The usual adult dosage is 150–300mg every 6 hours, adjusted based on the severity of the infection. Capsules should be taken with a full glass of water to reduce the risk of throat irritation and swallowed while sitting or standing.
Patients should complete the entire prescribed course even if symptoms improve early, to prevent resistance and recurrence. Common side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and skin rash. Serious adverse effects are rare but require immediate medical attention.
Clindamycin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to it or lincomycin and should be used cautiously in those with a history of gastrointestinal disorders.
Store the capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children. Always use under medical supervision.
