Let us begin by giving you the strictly technical
details of Clindamycin.
It consists of an amino acid that is linked to an amino
sugar and was derived by modifying lincomycin. This
agent binds to the same 50S ribosomal binding site as
the macrolides, blocking bacterial protein synthesis.
Now how exactly is Clindamycin linked to acne and can it
help in a remedy? This is what we are going to
investigate in this article.
What is Clindamycin?
Clindamycin is an antibiotic which is used
to treat only very serious bacterial infections because
it can lead to a severe intestinal problem due to a
resistant bacterium. Its application is usually oral and
it comes in the form of liquids or capsules but can also
be found as lotions or gels for applications on
acne.
If the medication is
taken orally, it usually has to be ingested at 6 hourly
intervals. Take it with a full glass of water and do not
lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking the drug.
To achieve the best results with antibiotics, it is
advisable to keep the amount of medicine at a constant
level so the drug should be taken at evenly spaced
intervals. Do not stop taking the drug if the symptoms
begin to recede or even disappear. Stopping the
medication without finishing the full course may allow
bacteria to continue to grow, and this may ultimately
result in a relapse.
Side Effects of Clindamycin:
However here's something about Clindamycin
that you must know before even considering this line of
treatment. The principal problem with Clindamycin is
that it sometimes gives rise to very severe side effects. A relation has
been found with colitis (bowel inflammation); a toxin,
clostridium difficile, which is produced from an
overgrowth of a bacterium causes this. The symptoms of
this condition may vary from mild watery diarrhea to a
persistent and severe diarrhea marked with abdominal
cramps, fever and a discharge of mucus and blood. There
is a possibility of this condition turning serious. Stop
using Clindamycin if you develop a bad case of diarrhea.
And anyway, Clindamycin will
not give you a permanent relief from acne.
Our advice to you would be to avoid taking a drug
which could cause such adverse side effects. Instead,
you should attempt the holistic approach. This approach
propounds the theory that your basic problem stems from
within and occurs because of the unnatural lifestyle we
lead nowadays. Our bodies are filled with toxins that
have entered through the food we eat and the medicines
we ingest. The holistic approach goes to the root of the
problem and fixes it. And unlike Clindamycin and many
such drugs, it has no side effects. The results are
permanent too. Therefore why not switch over to this all
natural approach rather than risk the looming threat of
hugely adverse side
effects?
