Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Clindamycin Hydrochloride is a lincosamide antibiotic used to treat infections in dogs and cats. This medication works by stopping bacteria from growing and spreading. Vets often prescribe it to treat problems like skin infections, dental infections, wounds, abscesses (pockets of pus under the skin), and bone infections caused by certain bacteria. The tablets are chewable, which makes it easier for pets to take their medicine.

Clindamycin is given by mouth to dogs and cats. For dogs, the usual dosage for wounds, abscesses, and dental infections is 5.5 mg per kg of body weight every 12 hours or 11 mg/kg once daily for 7 to 10 days; dental cases may require a 10-day course starting five days before and continuing five days after the procedure. For superficial skin infections (pyoderma), the same dosing options apply, often for about 21 days.
Osteomyelitis in dogs is treated with 11 mg/kg every 12 hours for at least 28 days. If there’s no improvement within a few days (4 days for wounds/abscesses, 14 days for osteomyelitis), the veterinarian may reassess treatment. In cats, the usual dose is 5 mg/kg twice daily or 10 mg/kg once daily, except for toxoplasmosis, which may require 25 mg/kg daily for 7 to 10 days. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions, and give the full prescribed course.
This medication contains the active ingredient Clindamycin Hydrochloride.
Avoid giving this medication if any of the following apply:
Some animals may experience vomiting or diarrhea while taking this drug, though these effects are typically mild and temporary. These gastrointestinal side effects are among the most commonly observed reactions. If symptoms persist or worsen, a veterinarian should be consulted.
In some cases, this antibiotic can cause an overgrowth of nonsensitive organisms like resistant clostridia or yeast, resulting in a secondary infection. A superinfection may require additional treatment depending on the animal’s symptoms and overall health. Monitoring for any new or worsening signs during treatment is recommended.
