Can Clindamycin Cause Numbness Of The Face?
I am emailing this question for one of my employees - I starting taking Clindamycin 300 on Friday (2 dozes each day) On Sunday I took my first doze & then noticed that the left side of my face was numb, left eye would not close all the way & could not drink from the left side of my moth. I did not take any more dozes. What should I do??
