Side effect: Diarrhea is a common side effect of some antibiotics, Clindamycin is also commonly associated with C-diff colitis. I would recommend stopping the antibiotic, contact your doctor and inform him of the problem. If the diarrhea does not stop or gets worse it will need to be tested for C-diff. May need other antibiotic.

Antibiotic diarrhea: This is antibiotic related diarrhea due to the antibiotic effecting your intestinal bacteria. Usually gets better after antibiotic stops. Could try taking probiotics with it.

Monitor, probiotic: Clindamycin is soooooo prone to do this. It is also one of the antibiotics very commonly associated with development of C.difficile colitis, a serious complication of antibiotic use affecting the colon. If diarrhea becomes bloody, must test for this. In interim, start probiotics several times a day, decrease fat and lactose intake, high protein diet and lots of fluid. If not getting better,see doc

Call: Your doctor you may need to stop the medicine and change to a new one. If symptoms worsen stop the medicine and call ASAP. But I would call Monday for re eval of meds and symptoms
