Larimycin 300
Clindamycin 300mg Capsules

Manage Serious Anaerobic Infections Cleverly

Description: Larimycin 300 contains Clindamycin, a potent antibiotic effective against a range of serious anaerobic infections. Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, making it a valuable treatment for infections caused by anaerobic bacteria.

Pack Size: 10 capsules/strip

Dosage: As directed by a healthcare provider, typically 300mg to 600mg every 6 to 8 hours, depending on the severity and type of infection.

Mode of Action:

• Clindamycin: Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial ribosome. This action prevents the growth and replication of bacteria, effectively controlling and eliminating the infection.

Indications:

• Serious anaerobic infections, including but not limited to:
• Intra-abdominal Infections: Such as peritonitis and abscesses.
• Pelvic Infections: Including endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Particularly those caused by anaerobes.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Such as osteomyelitis.
• Dental Infections: Severe infections in the oral cavity.
• Respiratory Tract Infections: Involving anaerobic pathogens.

Usage Instructions:

• Take one capsule of Larimycin 300mg orally every 6 to 8 hours or as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Complete the full course of therapy as directed to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to reduce the risk of developing resistance.

Precautions:

• Allergies: Do not use if you have a known allergy to Clindamycin or lincomycin.
• Liver Function: Use with caution in patients with liver impairment, as Clindamycin is metabolized by the liver.
• Diarrhea: Prolonged use may cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. If severe diarrhea or colitis occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking, as Clindamycin may interact with other drugs.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
• Serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, and liver dysfunction.

Storage:

• Store at room temperature, away from light and moisture.
