A member asked:
Can the antibiotic clindamycin cause acne since i been taking for three days my face has broke out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clindamycin: A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Do not just ignore this. See the dermatologist who prescribed this.
