Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Adsorbent antidiarrheal agents may significantly reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of oral clindamycin and lincomycin, causing decreased serum levels and potential loss of antimicrobial effectiveness. Kaolin-pectin has been associated with a 90% reduction in lincomycin levels.
MANAGEMENT: The use of adsorbent antidiarrheals should be avoided if possible. If used concurrently, the patient should be monitored closely for loss of antibiotic efficacy.
