Can clindamycin treat syphilis?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Infectious Disease..: 30 y/o asks Can Clindamycin treat syphilis? Clindamycin is Not the 1st line medication for syphilis. As for people with Penicillin allergy there are other options. If one already has a diagnosis of syphilis, they are encouraged to work closely with their PCP or Infectious Disease Consults for best result.

Not reliable: Clindamycin might treat syphilis, but it not been studied to know how effective it is. It should not be relied on for treatment.
