Infections and Infestations: Clostridioides difficile colitis Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain, pseudomembranous colitis, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (See BOXED WARNING). The onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after antibacterial treatment (See WARNINGS). Esophagitis and esophageal ulcer have been reported, particularly when taken in a lying position or with a small amount of water. An unpleasant or metallic taste has been reported after oral administration.
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including clindamycin hydrochloride and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.
Clindamycin has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients receiving such agents. Clindamycin is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent by CYP3A5, to the major metabolite clindamycin sulfoxide and minor metabolite N-desmethylclindamycin.
