What Are Side Effects Of Taking Clindamycin?
I just started taking Clindamycin yesterday because I had recurring boils. Will I most likely get diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea? I also read that some people get yeast infections, will I get that too? I don t want all of that. I am 17 years old, a little overweight. Help me.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Clindamycin can cause abdominal discomfort or diarrhea due to dysbacteriosis. Even yeast infection also due to wiping out of normal bacterial flora. Taking probiotics along with this will help you to prevent from this. You can take probiotics like bifidobacter or sacharomyces boulardi. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
