Description: Clindamycin hydrochloride is used for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria, including Peptostreptococcus, anaerobic streptococci, Clostridium, Bacteroides spp., spp., and microaerophilic streptococci[9]. It may be useful in the treatment of polymicrobic infections such as intra-abdominal or pelvic infections, osteomyelitis, diabetic foot ulcers, aspiration pneumonia and dental infections. It is also used for treat MSSA and respiratory infections caused by S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes in patients who are faced with drug resistance or are intolerant to many other antibiotics. It may also be used vaginally to treat vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginosa. Given clindamycin reduces the toxin producing effects of S. aureus and S. pyogenes and as such, it may be particularly useful for treating necrotizing fasciitis. It is also administrated topically to treat acne.
