Clindamycin Expiration Date

littlemisscurious Says:
i was told that you can put the contents of what is inside a clindamycin capsule into a facial toner or cleanser and that this will help your acne clear up. it did work for me. but will expired clindamycin capsules work the same way? will it have side effects even if you just apply it on your face and not take it orally?

Yes, it can still cause some side effects, though they are usually minimal, since you don't absorb a lot of it, but you could still experience nausea, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash and skin irritation.
In addition, you are creating the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, which may make them much less effective in the future.
Have you tried just consulting your doctor to get something specifically formulated for topical use?

I take Clindamycin prior to a dental visit. I have 2 capsules left from a script that was filled 5/4/2010, which states to use it by 5/4/2011. I have a dentist appt on Monday, would it be safe to take these? Unfortunately my dentist is closed today to even call for a refill...

Debz, you can take them, but they do lost potency, over time, so they may not work as well as they did, when they were new.
Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Are there any other questions?

Hi. I have a bottle of liquid clindamycin from 6-16-17 when my daughter had a boil, and one has started to resurface. Can I still give her some of it? It's been kept in a room temperature cabinet and it's a brand new bottle that's never been opened.
