Consumer:Ask your doctor before using clindamycin together with attapulgite. Using these medications together may cause clindamycin to be less effective. Contact your doctor immediately if your condition or infection worsens. You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
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.
