Question 4

i think i have a uti can i use clindamycin?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea...: Clindamycin is chiefly used for respiratory infection, skin and soft tissue infection and not a good choice for bacterial UTI. Besides, consider its use as secondary due to its possible risk to develop clostridium difficile associated colitis, which could be severe and even fatal. So, don't use it lightly.

Question 6

how much clindamycin should i be taking for a uti, and ihow long? thanks

Accepted Answer

Culture result?: Is the prescription for Clindamycin based on a culture result? Clindamycin is not your typical first line drug for uncomplicated UTI but it could be used for more complicated infections, recurrent infections if based on the sensitivity of the bacteria in culture. You should not use this drug if it is a left over from an old prescription.

Question 7

will clindamycin cure a uti? i've been taking it for going on 3 days now and haven't experienced much relief. i've also been taking priobiodics.

Accepted Answer

Clinda doesn&#x27;t work: Clindamycin is not active against most UTI bacteria. I would be surprised if a doctor prescribed it for UTI -- I&#x27;m guessing you diagnosed and treated yourself with leftover antibiotic, right? Stop treatment and see a doctor.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

UTI: This is an unusual choice of antibiotic for UTI in women unless the organism is a sensitive staph species.  Discuss this with the doctor who ordered it.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

UTI: Clindamycin is a very unusual antibiotic to be used in treating a UTI unless it is due to a staphylococcus.  The dosage, assuming the therapy is appropriate, is from 300 to 600mg three times a day, although it may be very difficult to tolerate because of GI side-effects if given orally.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Choice of empiric ( without identifying specific causative bacterium/ bacteria) antibiotic therapy depends on typical bacteria that cause both infections, and if you are allergic to an antibiotic class.
