Dalacin C Information

Dalacin C at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Dalacin C (clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride) is available from various manufacturers, including Pfizer and Paladin, in many countries worldwide, such as Canada. Generic clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Brand Dalacin C is commonly available in various forms and dosages, including:
• 2% vaginal cream in a 40 g tube
• 75mg/5ml granules to be reconstituted into an oral solution of 100 ml
• 75 mg, 150 mg, and 300mg capsules.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Dalacin C (clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat severe bacterial infections. It can be used to treat respiratory tract infections such as aspiration pneumonia, lung abscesses, and empyema caused by anaerobic bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Dalacin C is also prescribed for skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis, as well as wound infections. Additionally, Dalacin C is used to manage pelvic and intra-abdominal infections, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometritis, and intra-abdominal abscesses. It is also effective in treating bone and joint infections, including osteomyelitis and septic arthritis. In severe cases, it may be used for bloodstream infections (septicemia). The vaginal cream is used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is the overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina.

Mechanism of Action: Dalacin C (clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride) is a lincosamide antibiotic. It works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. It does this by attaching to a specific part of the bacteria's structure, known as the ribosome. When the bacteria can't produce these essential proteins, their growth slows down, and the infection is brought under control. Some forms of clindamycin, such as the oral granules and the topical form, are inactive when first given. Once inside the body, they are quickly converted into the active form of the drug that fights infection.

Take Dalacin C exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Dalacin C, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with Dalacin C (clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary. This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice. Before starting Dalacin C, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects - These are some common side effects of Dalacin C, but others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Abdominal pain;
• Headache;
• Metallic or unpleasant taste in the mouth;
• Mild diarrhea;
• Nausea;
• Vaginal discharge (vaginal cream);
• Vaginal pain, irritation, or itching (vaginal cream);
• Vomiting

Serious or rare side effects- Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Hepatotoxicity - yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or persistent abdominal pain, indicating liver problems.
• Hypersensitivity – allergic reactions, including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, hives, or difficulty breathing.
• Severe diarrhea – symptoms of clostridiodes difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), such as watery or bloody stools, abdominal cramps, or fever.
• Severe Skin Reactions - including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). Symptoms include widespread skin rash, blistering, peeling skin, and fever.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Dalacin C, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Dalacin C should not be used if:
• You have a known allergy to clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride, lincomycin, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• You have a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Dalacin C. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Dalacin C is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Asthma
• Eczema
• Kidney disease

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Dalacin C, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the official Dalacin C prescribing information.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Dalacin C. Dalacin C may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 inducers, such as phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, and St. John's wort, can reduce the concentrations of clindamycin and its effectiveness.
Neuromuscular blocking agents such as succinylcholine, rocuronium, or vecuronium may be enhanced by clindamycin. Use with caution.
Other medications that may interact with clindamycin 2-palmitate hydrochloride include macrolide antibiotics like erythromycin. Using these medicines together can reduce the effectiveness of clindamycin.
Strong or moderate CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 inhibitors, such as clarithromycin, nefazodone, ketoconazole, darunavir, and ritonavir, may increase the concentration of clindamycin in the body, increasing the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Pregnant women should avoid taking Dalacin C orally. However, the vaginal cream can be used to treat bacterial vaginosis during the second and third trimesters. Your doctor will consider the potential benefits and risks of using this medicine in pregnancy. Clindamycin passes into breast milk, so nursing mothers should use it with caution. There is a small risk that it could cause side effects in the baby, such as diarrhea or, rarely, blood in the stool due to a condition called Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Always consult your doctor before using this medicine when pregnant or breastfeeding.

Esophageal Ulceration

Take Dalacin C capsules with a full glass of water and remain upright, sitting or standing, for at least 30 minutes afterward. Doing this helps to prevent throat irritation and esophageal ulceration.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dalacin C at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Dalacin C more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Dalacin C, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower costs compared to the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
