How should I use clindamycin? Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed. Clindamycin oral is taken by mouth. Clindamycin injection is injected into a muscle, or as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give your first dose and may teach you how to properly use the medication by yourself. Take the capsule with a full glass of water to keep it from irritating your throat. Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon). You may need frequent medical tests during treatment. If you need surgery, tell your surgeon you currently use clindamycin. Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time, even if your symptoms quickly improve. Skipping doses can increase your risk of infection that is resistant to medication. Clindamycin will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Protect the injectable medicine from high heat. Do not store the oral liquid in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused oral liquid after 2 weeks. Use a needle and syringe only once and then place them in a puncture-proof "sharps" container. Follow state or local laws about how to dispose of this container. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
