Introduction

Your healthcare provider may also prescribe Clind M for other infections not listed here.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Clind M will depend on the specific infection being treated, as well as other individual factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

It is important not to crush or chew the tablet unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action

Clind M contains Clindamycin and Miconazole. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It does this by interfering with the ability of bacteria to produce proteins necessary for their survival. Miconazole, on the other hand, is an antifungal medication that works by disrupting the growth and reproduction of fungi. Together, these two active ingredients help to combat both bacterial and fungal infections.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and skin rash. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, Clind M may cause more serious side effects. These can include severe allergic reactions, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
