Overview:
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic widely used to treat serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by anaerobic bacteria and Gram-positive organisms. It is effective against a variety of infections, including skin, bone, and intra-abdominal infections. Clindamycin is also used for treating bacterial infections in patients allergic to penicillin.
