What Causes Chocking Sensation And Heartburn While Taking Clindamycin?
Why does a person have to wait 10 minutes before laying down after taking Clindamycin? I am asking because sometimes I feel like the medication gets stuck right before it gets to my stomach and it feels like really bad heartburn. I have to eat a pudding or drink a full glass of water or something before the feeling subsides.

Hi, i do care for your concern.
clindamycin acts via inhibiting protein synthesis of bacteria.
almost all of the antibiotic have the adverse effect of causing gastric irritation.
it is more pronounced in patients with previous gastric ulcer or GERD.
It is advisable to take it along with glass full of water.
taking antacids along with antibiotic will help a lot.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
