Description
Dalacin C 150Mg 16Cap contains the active ingredient clindamycin hydrochloride. Each capsule contains 150 milligrams of clindamycin. Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thus stopping the growth and spread of susceptible bacteria. Dalacin C 150Mg capsules are prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, including upper and lower respiratory tract infections (such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia), skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, gynecological infections, and intra-abdominal infections. The 16-capsule pack provides a course of treatment that typically lasts for several days, with the dosage and duration determined by the type and severity of the infection and the doctor’s recommendations.

Directions for Use:
Take Dalacin C 150Mg capsules exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dosage for adults is one capsule every 6 hours (four times a day) or as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Dalacin C can be taken with or without food. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if you start to feel better before the medication is finished, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Precautions:
- Dalacin C is a prescription antibiotic and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to clindamycin or lincomycin.
- Provide your doctor with a complete medical history, especially if you have a history of colitis or other bowel problems, liver disease, or kidney disease.
- Inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements, as interactions can occur.
- Be aware of potential side effects, which may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and rash. Diarrhea is a common side effect of clindamycin and can sometimes be severe. If you develop severe or persistent diarrhea, especially with blood or mucus, stop taking Dalacin C and contact your doctor immediately.
- Prolonged use of antibiotics can sometimes lead to an overgrowth of other organisms, such as yeast or Clostridium difficile. Report any new symptoms or worsening of existing symptoms to your doctor.
- Use with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease.
- Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Dalacin C.
- Keep this medication out of the reach of children.
- Store Dalacin C 150Mg capsules at room temperature in a dry place, away from light and moisture.
