It is a lincosamide antibiotic, used to treat infections with anaerobic bacteria but can also be used to treat some protozoal diseases, such as malaria in combination with quinine or chloroquine. It is a common topical treatment for acne and has been used against some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.
The most severe common adverse effect of clindamycin is Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (the most frequent cause of pseudomembranous colitis). Although this side effect occurs with almost all antibiotics, including beta-lactam antibiotics, it is classically linked to clindamycin use.
Pseudomembranous colitis is a potentially lethal condition commonly associated with clindamycin, but which occurs with other antibiotics, as well. Overgrowth of Clostridium difficile, which is inherently resistant to clindamycin, results in the production of a toxin that causes a range of adverse effects, from diarrhea to colitis and toxic megacolon. Clindamycin therapy has also been associated with jaundice, raised liver enzyme levels, and/or hepatotoxicity.
