Pharmacodynamics

There is limited information regarding Pharmacodynamics of Clindamycin phosphate (gel) in the drug label.

Pharmacokinetics

Although clindamycin phosphate is inactive in vitro, rapid in vivo hydrolysis converts this compound to the antibacterially active clindamycin.

Cross resistance has been demonstrated between clindamycin and lincomycin.

Antagonism has been demonstrated between clindamycin and erythromycin.

Following multiple topical applications of clindamycin phosphate at a concentration equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per mL in an isopropyl alcohol and water solution, very low levels of clindamycin are present in the serum (0-3 ng/mL) and less than 0.2% of the dose is recovered in urine as clindamycin.

Clindamycin activity has been demonstrated in comedones from acne patients. The mean concentration of antibiotic activity in extracted comedones after application of Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Solution for 4 weeks was 597 mcg/g of comedonal material (range 0 - 1490). Clindamycin in vitro inhibits all Propionibacterium acnes cultures tested (MICs 0.4 mcg/mL). Free fatty acids on the skin surface have been decreased from approximately 14% to 2% following application of clindamycin.

Nonclinical Toxicology

There is limited information regarding Nonclinical Toxicology of Clindamycin phosphate (gel) in the drug label.

Clinical Studies

There is limited information regarding Clinical Studies of Clindamycin phosphate (gel) in the drug label.

How Supplied

  • ClindaMax® Gel (Clindamycin Phosphate Gel USP, 1%) containing clindamycin phosphate equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per gram is available in the following sizes:
