I was just wondering if anyone has been on I.V. Clindamycin and if so what your experience was. Was it helpful?
Is it more effective than oral Clindamycin?
I've taken oral Clindamycin in the past with no problems, but I've heard that it can cause g.i. issues. Did anyone experience this?
Thanks.

Good morning Anon,
I was on IV Cleocin for several months. Yes, it certainly did pack a punch for me. I also had severe GI issues, but can not say that it was solely the effect of Cleocin as I was also on other things concurrently.
I think it was a very helpful med. and would do it again if given the opportunity. I have not taken it as an oral, so can't compare the two.
My best, Melanie
