Warnings, Side Effects and Drug Interactions

Clindamycin Hydrochloride is contraindicated in animals with a history of hypersensitivity (allergy) to preparations containing clindamycin or lincomycin. During prolonged therapy of one month or greater, periodic liver and kidney function tests and blood counts should be performed. Patients with very severe renal disease and/or very severe hepatic disease accompanied by severe metabolic achanges should be dosed with caution, and serum clindamycin levels monitored during high-dose therapy.

The use of clindamycin hydrochloride occasionally results in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms such as clostridia and yeasts. Should superinfections occur, appropriate measures should be taken as indicated by the clinical situation.

Clindamycin hydrochloride has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents. This medication should be used with caution in animals receiving such agents.
Side effects occasionally observed include vomiting and diarrhea.

Safety in pregnant females and breeding males has not been established.

Because of potential adverse gastrointestinal effects, do not administer to rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, chinchillas or ruminating animals.
