About Clindahit Capsule 10's

Clindahit Capsule 10's belongs to the class of ‘antibiotics’, primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Clindahit Capsule 10's will not work for viral infections, such as common cold and flu.

Clindahit Capsule 10's contains 'Clindamycin' that works by preventing bacterial protein synthesis, leading to the inhibition of bacterial growth. It shows a bacteriostatic effect that stops bacterial reproduction. Clindahit Capsule 10's effectively treats infections caused by gram-positive and anaerobic (living without air) bacteria, including susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Clostridium perfringens.

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Clindahit Capsule 10's. Let your doctor know if you have any liver disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal diseases (colitis, an inflammation of the colon), yellow food dye allergy, and allergic conditions (asthma, hay fever, eczema).

CLINDAMYCIN-300MGOther bacterial intestinal infections
Severe
How does the disease interact with Clindahit Capsule:
Almost all antibacterial medications have been associated with reports of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD), formerly known as pseudomembranous colitis. It can vary from mild diarrhoea to deadly colitis.

How to manage the interaction:
Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) ranging from mild diarrhoea to colitis has been reported during treatment with antibacterial agents. Therapy should be administered cautiously in patients with history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis and pseudomembranous colitis. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, and antibacterial treatment of C difficile is advised.
CLINDAMYCIN-300MGDisorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Clindahit Capsule:
Benzyl alcohol is frequently used as a preservative in the formulation of multidose vials for parenteral medicines. Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals believe that using them in neonates, especially preterm and underweight newborns, is contraindicated. In low birth weight preterm newborns, the use of benzyl alcohol in bacteriostatic saline intravascular flush and endotracheal tube lavage solutions has been linked to mortality and serious respiratory and metabolic problems.

How to manage the interaction:
Parenteral medications containing benzyl alcohol as a preservative are contraindicated in neonates, particularly premature infants and infants of low birth weight.
CLINDAMYCIN-300MGOther diseases of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Clindahit Capsule:
The liver is the primary site of Clindahit Capsule metabolism. Patients with significantly impaired hepatic function may have a rise in the blood concentration of Clindahit Capsule and a prolongation of the half-life. Additionally, the drug's usage may result in abnormal liver enzyme levels and jaundice. Patients with liver problems should receive Clindahit Capsule therapy with caution. When given every 8 hours, dosage modifications might not be required. However, with high-dose therapy, serum concentrations should be observed, and during prolonged therapy, regular liver function tests should be carried out.

How to manage the interaction:
Clindahit Capsule is primarily metabolized by the liver. Therapy with Clindahit Capsule should be administered cautiously in patients with liver disease. Serum concentrations should be monitored during high-dose therapy, and periodic liver function tests should be performed during prolonged therapy.
CLINDAMYCIN-300MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
