User Reviews for Clindamycin

clindamycin: I was prescribed Clindamycin by my oral surgeon as a prophylactic antibiotic before having my wisdom teeth extracted. Neither the doctor, pharmacist, nor the drug fact sheet indicated that it could cause severe heartburn or chest pains. Within a day of taking Clindamycin, I had developed clenching chest / esophageal pain and heartburn. My doctor extended my Clindamycin script to fight these symptoms. I went to the E.R. this morning for fear that my artificial pulmonary valve was infected. I was told to take Maalox. After stopping my Clindamycin dosage (I have already finished all that were initially prescribed), my fever has broken, rash went away, and I feel drastically better.

clindamycin: I started this medicine almost a week ago, before oral surgery) and I must say that biggest side effect I experienced was feeling sick to the stomach and loss of appetite. I have learned that you must take this with a glass of water and don't lay down right after.

clindamycin: Clindamycin is a good drug for oral bacteria and since I had a allergy to penicillin, I was prescribed this x 5 days after my oral surgery. First dose caused terrible heartburn and nausea. I was very nervous about vomiting after mouth surgery. The next dose I took with a big glass of water, yogurt and applesauce and sat up for 30 minutes--no problems after that. Except for watery diarrhea which started day after stopping. Keeping well hydrated and taking my probiotics should help.

clindamycin: 2 pills 3x day- 5 days. Got 4 wisdom teeth removed. Day 1- 1st dose, pills were hard to swallow and a few minutes after I took the pills I got an upset stomach. 2nd dose was about the same but I got a rash on my face (cheeks). 3rd dose stomach pain got a little worse. Day 2 stomach pain got even worse with every dose. Day 3 morning dose was unbearably painful in my esophagus/stomach. Called my doctor and he told me to stop taking pills. I figured stomach/esophagus pain would go away since I'm not taking pills but its been 6 days since I stopped taking pills and I still have pain. A lot of pain when I eat and burp. Pain feels like a tightening and burning in my chest every time I swallow.
