A member asked:

If a pill has a differnt manufacture but is the same dosage and all can i still have an allergic reaction? it's clindamycin. i'm not allergic to it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Many medications are available in generic form from various manufacturers. Clindamycin is clindamycin, whomever makes it. Now, don't be taking someone elses medications. Any questions at all about your meds should be directed to the prescribing physician. Good luck.
