Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic for skin, lung, bone and other bacterial infections; PockDose stocks clindamycin capsules in 150mg and 300mg.
Clindamycin
150/300mg
Clindamycin capsules are an antibiotic for bacterial infections of the skin, lungs and other organs, available in 150mg and 300mg strengths in packs of 30 capsules or more.
Clindamycin is the best-known member of the lincosamides, a small antibiotic family related to lincomycin. It latches onto the bacterial ribosome, the part of the cell that assembles proteins, and stops it working. Without new proteins the bacteria cannot grow or multiply, and the immune system clears the rest. At higher levels it can kill some bacteria outright.
Its strength lies against two groups. The first is gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci, which cause most skin, wound and soft-tissue infections. The second is anaerobes, bacteria that thrive where there is little oxygen, as in deep abscesses, the abdomen and the pelvis. That profile makes clindamycin a common choice for infected skin and bone, chest infections and pelvic infections, and an option for people allergic to penicillin.
Worldwide, clindamycin comes as capsules, an oral liquid, injections, a gel or lotion for acne, and a vaginal cream. On PockDose it is sold as clindamycin capsules in 150mg and 300mg, the form used for infections treated at home.
The capsules are taken at evenly spaced times through the day, each with a full glass of water, staying upright for half an hour so the capsule does not irritate the oesophagus. Finishing the full course matters: stopping early is one of the ways bacteria become resistant, and clindamycin resistance is already common in some streptococci.
Like every antibiotic, it does nothing against viruses, so colds, flu and most sore throats are not reasons to take it.
Clindamycin is known for one complication more than any other antibiotic of its kind: Clostridioides difficile infection. By clearing out the normal gut bacteria, it gives this hardy germ room to grow and release toxins that inflame the large bowel. Watery or bloody diarrhoea, cramps and fever are the signs, and they can appear during the course or several weeks after it ends; they need urgent treatment. Ordinary side effects are milder: nausea, stomach pain, loose stools, a metallic taste and skin rash. A rash that spreads, blisters or comes with swelling of the face also needs urgent help.
Clindamycin capsules can be ordered online for delivery to Hong Kong. The page lists Clindamycin capsules in 150mg and 300mg. Tracked courier delivery to Hong Kong takes five to nine business days and includes online tracking.
The price depends on the strength and pack size you choose. The Clindamycin page shows current prices in HKD or the currency you select.
PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order clindamycin. See the ordering FAQ for details.
Cleocin is a brand name of clindamycin, which is also sold as Clindac, Dalacin, Zindaclin and Clindagel. Here, clindamycin can be bought online as clindamycin capsules. These are generics, not the original brand.
No. Clindamycin is a lincosamide, a separate antibiotic family with a different structure. That is why it is often chosen for people with a penicillin allergy, for example for skin, bone or chest infections caused by sensitive bacteria.
Mainly gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci, and anaerobic bacteria that live in low-oxygen places like deep wounds and abscesses. It has little effect on many gut bacteria of the gram-negative type, such as E. coli.
Yes, but acne treatment usually uses clindamycin as a gel or lotion on the skin, often combined with benzoyl peroxide. PockDose sells clindamycin as oral capsules only, which are meant for bacterial infections rather than routine acne care.
