Clindakem 600 Injection (1X4Ml) Ampoule (4Ml Ampoule) Clindamycin 150 Mg + Benzyl Alcohol 9.45 Mg By Alkem

Composition

Clindamycin 150 mg \+ Benzyl Alcohol 9.45 mg

This is typically an injectable clindamycin preparation, with benzyl alcohol serving as an excipient/preservative depending on the formulation.

- Clindamycin — an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein production.
- Benzyl alcohol — an inactive ingredient used in some injectable formulations.

Uses

Clindamycin is used for susceptible bacterial infections, particularly infections caused by certain Gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria, including:

- Skin and soft-tissue infections
- Bone and joint infections
- Dental and oral infections
- Serious respiratory infections
- Intra-abdominal infections
- Pelvic/gynaecological infections
- Certain bloodstream infections

It does not treat viral infections such as colds or influenza.

How to Use

If this is the injectable formulation, it should be administered by a healthcare professional, either by IV infusion or IM injection as appropriate.

The dose and duration depend on the infection, its severity, age, weight, and kidney/liver status.

Do not self-inject.

Precautions & Warnings

Tell your doctor if you have:

- A history of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea or colitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Liver disease
- An allergy to clindamycin or lincomycin

The most important warning with clindamycin is C. difficile-associated diarrhoea/colitis. Severe diarrhoea can occur during treatment or even weeks afterward.

Seek medical attention if you develop persistent, severe, or bloody diarrhoea.

Possible Side Effects

Common effects include:

- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Skin rash

Injection-related effects can include pain or irritation at the injection site.

Serious effects include severe allergic reactions and antibiotic-associated colitis.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Clindamycin may be used when medically indicated, but the formulation and route should be selected by a healthcare professional.

Because this product contains benzyl alcohol, particular caution is needed in newborns and very young infants; benzyl alcohol-containing injectable products are generally avoided in this population unless specifically indicated.

Storage

Store according to the manufacturer's instructions, generally at controlled room temperature and protected from excessive heat and light. Keep out of reach of children.

Important Safety Information

Use clindamycin only when prescribed for an appropriate bacterial infection and complete the prescribed course. Do not use leftover antibiotics.

Important: The exact formulation matters. If your package says Clindamycin 150 mg/1 mL + Benzyl Alcohol 9.45 mg/1 mL injection, I can also explain the usual IM/IV administration, dosing, and dilution precautions for that specific product.
