How soon after starting clindamycin would any allergic reactions start to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clindamycin ("Cleocin") may cause GI distrurbances, and if allergic reactions occur, such should be minor if this exposure is the initial one to this antibiotic. If there is concern about allergic reaction, see a dermatologist for a skin test before using clindamycin.
