Does Clindamycin Cause Orange Coloured Bowel Movement?
I took Clindamycin after a crown I had put on a tooth got infected. I took 9- 150 mg pills a day for 10 days. It has been 2 weeks since I finished it and I still have yellow/orange looking stool and it is starting to worry me. (This started 2 days after I started taking it.) I am 59 years old.

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Supplements and medications that can cause orange-colored stools include those containing beta-carotene (which is sometimes found in vitamin A) and aluminum hydroxide (which can be found in antacids). I don't think is clyndamycin causing it . See if it contains any of the above.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
