Posted on Fri, 25 Feb 2022
Question: I was prescribed clindamycin
HCL 300 MG.
I GOT SEVERE MUSCLE PAIN WHICH AFTER STOPPING THE DRUG IS GRADUALLY RESOLVING ...BUT AS YET, IS NOT COMPLETED RESOLVED AFTER TWO/ three weeks.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thank you. I know my body and muscle pain occurred after a few days of taking the drug clindamycin. I am very drug sensitive as are several family members.
The main thing is my need for reassurance that this pain is NOT an indication of damage.

Again thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Muscle pain is not a side effects of Clindamycin, it has side effects like joint pain with resolve after stopping the drug within 2-3 weeks .
As you are still having pain then you can take mild pain killer like Acleclofenac 200 mg SR daily along with some multivitamin and calcium supplement for 2-3 weeks, you will get relief.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
