Can Clindamycin Cause Chest And Leg Rashes With Swelling?
I took Clindamycin HCL 300 MG Caps for 7 days. A few days later I got a red flat rash on my chest, & on my lower legs. Is this from the Clindamycin? Also, will it go away by itself, or do I need to take anything? It doesn t itch or hurt. But my ankles are a little swollen.

Hi,
Any drug can cause hypersensitivity reaction. Does the rash disappears after stopping Clindamycin? In such case, the possibility of the rash being due to drug, is high. Rarely, drug induced hypersensitivity is associated with severe symptoms. So, I request you to consult your Dermatologist for proper management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
