: Context will be needed as it is unusual for any prescribed treatment to involve taking 1 clindamycin pill. If you usually develop fungal infections after taking antibiotics, you may not need a full course of antifungal unless you had a fungal infection to begin with. Your prescriber would be best to clarify.
