WHAT DOES CLINDAMYCIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

clindamycin

Clindamycin

Clindamycin rINN /klɪndəˈmaɪsɨn/ is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of infections. It is of the lincosamide class. It is usually used to treat infections with anaerobic bacteria, but can also be used to treat some protozoal diseases, such as malaria. It is a common topical treatment for acne and can be useful against some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. The most severe common adverse effect of clindamycin is Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Although this side effect occurs with almost all antibiotics, including beta-lactam antibiotics, it is classically linked to clindamycin use. Clindamycin is marketed under various trade names, including Cleocin HCl® - Pfizer, Dalacin, Lincocin, and Dalacin, Clindacin. Combination products include Duac, BenzaClin, Clindoxyl and Acanya, and Ziana. Clindamycin is also available as a generic drug. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.
