A member asked:
Can clindamycin cause heartburn? and would it be more likely in someone who already deals with heartburn frequently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clindamycin can cause heartburn and especially in someone who already is bothered by this problem. Be sure to drink plenty of water with each dose and if it is not tolerable, talk to your doctor about other options.
