A member asked:
Was clindamycin for 10 days now off it for 4 days and still have soft stool is this normal and how long should it last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The gastrointestinal: side effects of clindamycin should not last more than 1 week after you have completed treatment. If you continue to have watery loose stool, especially with worse foul smell, abdominal cramping and/or black color, then you need to get tested for Clostridium difficile colitis which is associated with prolonged use of antibiotics like Clindamycin. Be sure to use probiotics daily x1 month.
