Is clindamycin used to treat chlamydia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: While this med is often used for bacterial vaginitis & a long list of other bacterial infections, there is no indication that it would be an effective rx for chlamydia. Erythromycin, Azithromycin or Doxycycline are the primary agents.
