A member asked:
I have to take clindamycin for cellulitis and ive never taken it before. is it generally well tolerated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, clindamycin usually is very well tolerated. Your doctor would not have prescribed it if she thought it would be harmful. You can be certain that not properly treating your cellulitis would be far more dangerous to your health than clindamycin or any other antibiotic used to treat it. Start taking the drug without delay. Good luck.
