<!--Contraindications-->
<!--Contraindications-->
|contraindications=* Condition1
|contraindications=* ClindaMax® (Clindamycin Phosphate Gel) is contraindicated in individuals with a history of [[hypersensitivity]] to preparations containing clindamycin or [[lincomycin]], a history of regional [[enteritis]] or [[ulcerative colitis]], or a history of [[antibiotic-associated colitis]].
 
|warnings=* Orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe [[colitis]] which may result in patient death. Use of the topical formulation of clindamycin results in absorption of the [[antibiotic]] from the skin surface. [[Diarrhea]], [[bloody diarrhea]], and [[colitis]] (including [[pseudomembranous colitis]]) have been reported with the use of topical and systemic clindamycin.
<!--Warnings-->
* Studies indicate a toxin(s) produced by [[clostridia]] is one primary cause of [[antibiotic-associated colitis]]. The [[colitis]] is usually characterized by severe persistent [[diarrhea]] and severe [[abdominal cramps]] and may be associated with the passage of [[blood]] and [[mucus]]. Endoscopic examination may reveal [[pseudomembranous colitis]]. [[Stool cultures]] for [[Clostridium difficile]] and stool assay for [[C. difficile]] [[toxin]] may be helpful diagnostically.
|warnings=* Description
* When significant [[diarrhea]] occurs, the drug should be discontinued. [[Colonoscopy|Large bowel endoscopy]] should be considered to establish a definitive diagnosis in cases of severe [[diarrhea]].
 
* [[Antiperistaltic agents]] such as [[opiates]] and [[diphenoxylate]] with [[atropine]] may prolong and/or worsen the condition. [[Vancomycin]] has been found to be effective in the treatment of [[antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis]] produced by [[Clostridium difficile]]. The usual adult dosage is 500 mg to 2 grams of [[vancomycin]] orally per day in three to four divided doses administered for 7 to 10 days. [[Cholestyramine]] or [[colestipol]] resins bind [[vancomycin]] in vitro. If both a [[resin]] and [[vancomycin]] are to be administered concurrently, it may be advisable to separate the time of administration of each drug.
====Precautions====
* [[Diarrhea]], [[colitis]], and [[pseudomembranous colitis]] have been observed to begin up to several weeks following cessation of oral and parenteral therapy with clindamycin.
 
|clinicalTrials=* In 18 clinical studies of various formulations of Clindamycin Phosphate using placebo vehicle and/or active comparator drugs as controls, patients experienced a number of treatment emergent adverse dermatologic events.
* Description
: [[File:Clindamycin gel AE 01.png|thumb|none|600px|This image is provided by the National Library of Medicine.]]
 
* Orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe [[colitis]] which may end fatally.
<!--Adverse Reactions-->
* Cases of [[diarrhea]], [[bloody diarrhea]] and [[colitis]] (including [[pseudomembranous colitis]]) have been reported as adverse reactions in patients treated with oral and parenteral formulations of [[clindamycin]] and rarely with topical clindamycin.
 
* [[Abdominal pain]] and gastrointestinal disturbances as well as [[gram-negative]] [[folliculitis]] have also been reported in association with the use of topical formulations of clindamycin.

There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Cross resistance has been demonstrated between clindamycin and lincomycin.

Antagonism has been demonstrated between clindamycin and erythromycin.

Following multiple topical applications of clindamycin phosphate at a concentration equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per mL in an isopropyl alcohol and water solution, very low levels of clindamycin are present in the serum (0-3 ng/mL) and less than 0.2% of the dose is recovered in urine as clindamycin.

Clindamycin activity has been demonstrated in comedones from acne patients. The mean concentration of antibiotic activity in extracted comedones after application of Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Solution for 4 weeks was 597 mcg/g of comedonal material (range 0 - 1490). Clindamycin in vitro inhibits all Propionibacterium acnes cultures tested (MICs 0.4 mcg/mL). Free fatty acids on the skin surface have been decreased from approximately 14% to 2% following application of clindamycin.
