ACNETOIN

Description

Acnetoin 300mg Capsule is an antibiotic medicine manufactured by Leeford Healthcare Ltd, containing clindamycin hydrochloride equivalent to 300 mg clindamycin per capsule. It is a lincomycin antibiotic prescribed for the treatment of a variety of moderate-to-serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.

How it Works:
Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, stopping the growth and multiplication of infection-causing bacteria. This helps cure underlying infections and improves clinical symptoms.

Uses of Acnetoin (Clindamycin) Capsule:

• Infections of the lungs (pneumonia, empyema), throat, and respiratory tract

• Serious infections of skin and soft tissues (cellulitis, abscesses)

• Bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis)

• Severe dental infections and some oral/facial abscesses

• Intra-abdominal infections (peritonitis, abscess)

• Bloodstream infections (sepsis)

• Female reproductive tract infections (endometritis, pelvic cellulitis, abscess)

Key Benefits:

• Effective against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria

• Useful when penicillin cannot be used or when bacteria are resistant to other antibiotics

• May be given alone or with other antibiotics for broad-spectrum coverage

• Can be used for serious skin and soft tissue infections, including abscesses and infected wounds

Dosage & Administration:

• To be taken as prescribed by a physician—typically one 300 mg capsule every 6–8 hours for adults

• Swallow with a glass of water; do not break, crush, or chew

• Can be taken with or without food

• Always complete the full course as directed even if symptoms improve early

• Do not self-medicate or miss doses

Safety & Precautions:

• Use only under medical supervision; contraindicated in those allergic to clindamycin or lincomycin-class antibiotics

• Most common side effects: diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, rash, urticaria

• Rare but serious risk of antibiotic-associated colitis (severe, bloody diarrhea)—inform your doctor immediately if this develops

• Caution in those with liver or kidney problems, intestinal disease, history of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or allergies

• Safe use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only as advised by a doctor

• May interact with blood thinners (like warfarin), other antibiotics, or muscle relaxants—inform your doctor about all medicines you take
