Explosive diarrhea due to clindamycin..what can i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C. diff: Clindamycin is particularly famous for causing clostridium difficile colitis, and it's not recommended that you take anti-diarrhea medications if you have c. Diff. You should get tested for c. Diff before you try taking anything to control your diarrhea.
