Clindamycin? Clyndamiacin is a common misspelling of clindamycin.
Clindamycin is a type of lincosamide antibiotic approved for treating certain types of bacterial infections. It comes in several forms, including capsules, lotions, gels, foams, vaginal suppositories or creams, an oral solution, or as an injection. This prescription antibiotic works by interfering with the production of bacterial proteins, which inhibits bacteria's ability to grow and multiply. Potential side effects of clindamycin may include diarrhea, dry skin, and skin irritation.
