Because of the risk of colitis, as described in the BOXED WARNING , before selecting clindamycin, the physician should consider the nature of the infection and the suitability of less toxic alternatives (e.g., erythromycin). Anaerobes: Serious respiratory tract infections such as empyema, anaerobic pneumonitis, and lung abscess; serious skin and soft tissue infections; septicemia; intra-abdominal infections such as peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscess (typically resulting from anaerobic organisms resident in the normal gastrointestinal tract); infectio

RX ONLY
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of clindamycin
hydrochloride capsules and other antibacterial drugs, clindamycin
hydrochloride capsules should be
used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly
suspected to be caused by bacteria.
WARNING
_Clostridium difficile_ associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported
with use of nearly all
antibacterial agents, including clindamycin hydrochloride and may
range in severity from mild
diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters
the normal flora of the colon,
leading to overgrowth of _C. difficile_.
Because clindamycin hydrochloride therapy has been associated with
severe colitis which may
end fatally, it should be reserved for serious infections where less
toxic antimicrobial agents are
inappropriate, as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section. It
should not be used in
patients with nonbacterial infections such as most upper respiratory
tract infections.
_C. difficile_ produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the
development of CDAD. Hypertoxin
producing strains of _C. difficile_ cause increased morbidity and
mortality, as these infections can be
refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD
must be considered in all
patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful
medical history is necessary
since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the
administration of antibacterial
agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed
against _C. difficile_ may
need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management,
protein supplementation,
antibiotic treatment of _C. difficile_, and surgical evaluation should
be instituted as clinically
indicated.
