A member asked:

I am very active mountain biking, hiking, lifting weights. i supplement with creatine hcl daily (3000mg). i drink min. 1 gal water daily. i was just given a one week prescription of clindamycin by my dds. is there any know interaction with these?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's best to avoid taking creatine along with any medications that can affect kidney or liver function. I don't think that clindamycin falls into this category. Your pharmacist can validate this advice,however.
