Clindamycin hcl capsules x2 every 6 hours for strep throat safe while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes , it is safe: Clindamycin is category B for pregnancy. It is not the most common medication for strep throat though. Do you have a penicillin allergy and that is why it was prescribed. generally other medications that are better tolerated are used such as amoxicillin or cefdinir.
