Quick Reference
What Is Clindamycin?
Clindamycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly prescribed in veterinary medicine to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is frequently used for skin, dental, bone, and soft tissue infections, as well as certain protozoal infections. Compounded formulations allow veterinarians to prescribe accurate, weight-based doses when commercial dosage forms are unsuitable.
How Clindamycin Works in Pets
