Clinics and hospitals in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi stock Cleocin Injection 300mg for patients needing a lower clindamycin dose. It suits moderate infections where the 600mg strength is not required.

The active ingredient, clindamycin phosphate, stops bacteria from multiplying and helps the body clear the infection. A doctor decides the exact dose based on the type of infection.

This injection is always given under medical supervision, never at home. Your doctor will monitor your response and adjust treatment as needed.

Drug Interactions

Cleocin Injection 300mg can interact with other medicines, so a full medication history should be shared with your doctor.

• Neuromuscular Blockers: Clindamycin can strengthen the effect of muscle relaxants given during anesthesia
