How should Cleocin (Clindamycin) be used?
Use Clindamycin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions. • Clindamycin may be taken with or without food. • Clindamycin should be taken with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL). • Clindamycin works best if it is taken at the same time each day. • To clear up your infection completely, continue using Clindamycin for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days. • If you miss a dose of Clindamycin , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Clindamycin.
