About Clindasure 150Mg Capsule

Clindasure 150Mg Capsule 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. Clindasure 150Mg Capsule will not work for viral infections, such as common cold and flu.

Clindasure 150Mg Capsule 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. Clindasure 150Mg Capsule effectively treats infections caused by gram-positive and anaerobic (living without air) bacteria, including susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Clostridium perfringens.

Take Clindasure 150Mg Capsule as advised by a doctor. Clindasure 150Mg Capsule may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Clindasure 150Mg Capsule include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, heartburn, skin rash, and vaginal itching or discharge. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Clindasure 150Mg Capsule. 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). Do not use Clindasure 150Mg Capsule while getting vaccinated with live bacterial vaccines (typhoid vaccine) since Clindasure 150Mg Capsule may affect vaccine activity. Clindasure 150Mg Capsule should be used only with a doctor's advice during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Severe
How does the disease interact with Clindasure 150Mg 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.

Severe
How does the disease interact with Clindasure 150Mg 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.

The liver is the primary site of Clindasure 150Mg Capsule metabolism. Patients with significantly impaired hepatic function may have a rise in the blood concentration of Clindasure 150Mg 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 Clindasure 150Mg 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:
Clindasure 150Mg Capsule is primarily metabolized by the liver. Therapy with Clindasure 150Mg 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.
