Dalacin C

Clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, is sold under the brand name Dalacin C. It acts by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, hence it is efficient against anaerobic bacteria and certain Gram-positive aerobes.

Medical uses:
Dalacin C is prescribed to:

Skin/soft tissue infections (such as cellulitis and abscesses).

Dental infections (such as periodontitis and jaw abscesses).

Infections of the bones and joints (such as osteomyelitis).

Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia and lung abscesses).

Pelvic infections (such as bacterial vaginosis or PID).

Bloodstream infections include sepsis produced by susceptible bacteria.

It is ineffective against viral illnesses (such as the flu and COVID-19).

Dosage and Administration:
Oral (capsules): 150-450 mg every 6-8 hours (depends on infection severity).

Topical (gel/lotion): For acne or skin infections (use 1-2 times per day).

Intravenous (IV): Used only in hospitals to treat serious infections.

Important:

Even if your symptoms improve, finish the entire course to avoid antibiotic resistance.

Take with a full glass of water to prevent throat discomfort.

Side effects are common:

Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Stomach discomfort and metallic taste.

Skin rash or itching (topical usage).

Serious risks:

C. difficile infection (severe, watery diarrhea—may necessitate hospitalization).

Allergic symptoms (swelling, difficulty breathing—seek emergency care).

Liver poisoning (rare; symptoms include black urine and jaundice).

Drug interactions
Erythromycin and chloramphenicol (decreases Dalacin C’s efficacy).

Neuromuscular blockers raise the risk of muscle weakness.

Blood thinners, such as warfarin, may increase the risk of bleeding.

Avoid alcohol, since it may exacerbate gastrointestinal adverse effects.
