I have this red and purple capsule that says N 150 on it. What could it be? ## what is a red and purple capsule with markings N 150 ## I have capsules marked with N on one side and 150 on the other.

Hi, I've been on Clindamycin 150mg x3, 3 times a day to treat SI Joint MRSA. I've taken this for 11months. I started jogging (I use to be an elite marathon runner) 3 months ago. No problems.. just the typical shin splints and common running injuries. During the past month I'm experiencing weakness in legs and extream soreness in my calf muscles, to a degree that I can only walk for 10min. My hospital checkups are 3months apart and I'm supposed to be on antibiotics for at least 1yr. I've decided to stop taking antibiotics yesterday, due to the pain. I've read on forums of cases that Clindamycin can cause muscular and joint pain. Is this true?? ## Hello, Tracey! How are you? Yes, the FDA does list muscle and joint pain as being possible side effects of this antibio...

I am taking clindamycin for nrsa staph infection of my leg, will this treatment cure me of staph infection ? ## Hi, Barry! Sorry about the infection, I hope it clears up fast. And yes, many strains of MRSA are still susceptible to Clindamycin, but it is becoming increasingly resistant. Thus, there's really no way to say if it's going to work for the infection you have. The only thing you can do is try it and see. Learn more Clindamcyin details here. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. To know if it's working, you shouldn't see any worsening of the infection after the first 24 hours of taking it and you should start to see improvement after 3 days, if not you'll need to contact your doctor. Are there any other que...

My dentist prescribed me 300 mgs of Teva-Clindamycin (1 every 6 hours) as I have been experiencing some pain in my teeth/left jaw area for the past 3 weeks. I was taking acetaminophen to help relive some of the pain. I want to start taking the Clindamycin but the acetaminophen tablet is still in my system for another hour or so. Can I take the Clindamycin before or should I wait it out until acetaminophen is out of my system? Also, it doesn't say on the bottle to take until finished. Once I start taking them should I take them until finished? ## Yes, they can be taken together and are often prescribed together to treat problems such as yours.

Hi, I have been in pain for some time now. I went to my dentist a 1 1/2 weeks ago. There is no swelling and no clearly visible reason on the X-rays as to explain why I am in pain. The dentist thinks it could be 1 of 2 teeth that are next to each other but can't be sure. He put me on clindamycin and said if the pain goes away then we know it was a small infection. But if the pain doesn't go away we will have to see what else could be going on. Well, I have been taking the clindamycin for one week today and have 4 more days of pills left but I am still in pain and taking too much ibuprohen. Do you gave any idea what else could be causing my pain? What do you think my dentist will look at when I go back? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? If there's nothing visible and nothing showed ...

I was on this for 10 days, 3xs a day for an eye infection. Have been finished for almost 1 week and was just curious how long it takes to fully leave your system?

I started taking Clindamycin 36 hours ago for a tooth infection. Still in extreme pain and more swelling tonight. When will the Clindamycin start helping my infection? ## If you have been taking it for more than 24 hours and the infection/swelling has worsened, that most likely means it is not working and you may need to try a different antibiotic.

Just wanted to know if I can use the G & W 3171 pill for a tooth infection? I have some left over from my doctor and I see a bump growing in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's the infection forming by my tooth. I'm in a lot of pain and don't have time to go to a dentist. Can I use these in the meantime? Please help. ## Hi Kera, The pill you're describing is reportedly identified as Clindamycin hydrochloride 150 mg, made by G & W Labs with a National Drug Code of 00713-3171. From what I understand, Clindamycin is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic that I believe if taken correctly could prove useful for a tooth infection.

I have lung problems and had tuberculosis when I was younger. I am now 66, have COPD and am very chemically sensitive. The dentist put me on clindamycin for an abscessed tooth. A lot of medications shut my lungs down and my oxygen drops. Should I take this medication? ## Is your dentist aware that you have had, and do have, such health issues? Are you on any other medications? The FDA warns that it carries the risk of causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. However, overall, it would be far more dangerous to let an infection like this rage out of control, than it is to try the medication. Have you taken it, yet?
