Facts about Clindamycin

We talked about this drug last post. It is commonly offered to be taken before your wisdom teeth get removed. The reason they give it to you is because it is an antibiotic and is supposed to prevent infection from your teeth being removed. But there are some serious side effects. One side effect that is almost guaranteed is diarrhea. Almost everyone who has used this has experienced that. Some people also have very negative reactions to it. And it is not always offered just for wisdom teeth. We suggest that if you are offered it you read up on some of these articles before deciding to take it. Erik and our dad both went through the procedure without problems and did not take it.
