Clindamycin Capsules IP

Clindamycin Capsules are prescribed to treat acne (pimples). Acne is a skin disorder brought on by hair follicles plugging with oil and dead skin cells. The symptoms are blackheads, pimples with pus, and large/red bumps.

Clindamycin has Clindamycin as an active ingredient, which acts by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins in bacteria, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth. It also possesses a bacteriostatic action, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. Clindamycin should only be used for external (for skin) purposes. Don't get it in the eyes, eyelids, lips, or mouth. As with all medicines, Clindamycin also leads to side effects, though not everyone receives them. Some of the common side effects of Clindamycin are burning, itching, dryness, redness, oily skin, and peeling of the skin.
