Overview Of Clindamycin

Potential Medication Interactions

It seems to be possible for clindamycin to interact with other medications. Interactions may result in side effects, or they may make medications less effective. This is why patients may wish to talk to their doctor about their current medications and supplements before they are prescribed this antibiotic. Patients may also want to continue verifying it at refills with the pharmacist.

In some cases, patients may be able to have their doses adjusted. This can apply to rifampin or ketoconazole, among others. However, patients may not be able to combine medications. One example is that patients may not take this antibiotic along with erythromycin or certain antidepressants. Women who take birth control pills may also find that this antibiotic can affect it.
