ClindaCure Oral Drops should be given orally as directed by your veterinarian.

This medication may have a bitter taste; if your pet vomits or appears unwell after receiving a dose on an empty stomach, give future doses with food. If vomiting continues, contact your veterinarian.

Measure medication doses carefully using the provided oral dosing syringe.

Administer the complete course of the medication as prescribed, even if your pet's condition has improved. Failure to administer the entire course of treatment may cause recurrence or worsening of the infection.

Administer the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

The most common side effect of this medication is gastrointestinal upset, which may include vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet develops severe, prolonged, or bloody diarrhea.

Notify your veterinarian if the effects described above or any other side effects appear and become persistent or troublesome.

Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.

The following medications may have potential interactions with this medication (but may not be a comprehensive list): aminoglycoside antibiotics, azole antifungals (e.g., fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole), cyclosporine, phenobarbital, and neuromuscular blocking agents.

Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.

Please ensure your veterinarian is aware of all medications and supplements that your pet is currently receiving. Your veterinarian may prescribe multiple medications, even if a potential drug interaction may occur. In these instances, your veterinarian may adjust the dosage(s) or monitor your pet more closely.

Not for human use- approved for use in dogs and cats.

Use with caution in atopic animals. During prolonged therapy of one month or greater, periodic liver and kidney function tests and blood counts should be performed.

The use of clindamycin hydrochloride occasionally results in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms such as clostridia and yeasts. Therefore, the administration of clindamycin hydrochloride should be avoided in those species sensitive to the gastrointestinal effects of clindamycin. Should superinfections occur, appropriate measures should be taken as indicated by the clinical situation.

Patients with very severe renal disease and/or very severe hepatic disease accompanied by severe metabolic aberrations should be dosed with caution, and serum clindamycin levels monitored during high-dose therapy. Clindamycin hydrochloride has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, clindamycin hydrochloride should be used with caution in animals receiving such agents.

Safety in gestating or breeding dogs and cats has not been established.
