Clindamycin

The oral use of clindamycin is limited since 20-30% of patients will experience diarrhea. Oral clindamycin can also cause an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile in the gut thus causing pseudomembranous colitis (72). Topical clindamycin is generally well tolerated, and is available by prescription in solution, gel, and foam formulations.
