Clindamycin Vaginal Cream 2%

*Note: Our medical team must review your online consultation before approving this treatment. They will determine if the requested treatment and quantity are safe, appropriate, and effective for you.

Clindamycin vaginal cream is used to treat vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV). Symptoms of BV include unusual discharge, a fishy odor, and vaginal discomfort. Clindamycin works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

Clindamycin vaginal cream is approved by the FDA. At SpeedyHealth, our doctors are able to prescribe this medicine after you complete an online consultation for BV.

Clindamycin phosphate, the active ingredient in this vaginal cream, 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 ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery.

Clindamycin mainly slows the growth of bacteria rather than killing them.

There are many benefits of using Clindamycin cream to treat BV:

Clindamycin vaginal cream is effective in treating infections like bacterial vaginosis.

In a clinical trial of 134 patients, 65 patients were allocated to receive treatment with 5g of Clindamycin 2% vaginal cream and 69 patients received a placebo cream.

At the follow-up evaluation, the results showed that 77% of patients who received Clindamycin experienced complete cure or improvement of BV symptoms compared to only 25% of patients who received the placebo.

This cream is an effective option for many women; however, it may not be suitable for everyone.

Who can use it?

Clindamycin vaginal cream is suitable for adult women suffering from bacterial vaginosis who prefer using a localised vaginal treatment.

Who cannot use it?

Do not use this cream if you are allergic to Clindamycin, Lincomycin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. You should also avoid this medicine if you have a history of inflammatory bowel disease or colitis linked to taking antibiotics.

Speak to your doctor before taking this medicine if you:

• Have diarrhea or usually get diarrhea when taking antibiotics
• Are currently pregnant
• Are breastfeeding
• Currently, have your period

If you currently have your period, you must wait until your period has finished before starting this medication. This is because menstrual bleeding can reduce the absorption and interfere with the effectiveness of the medication.

To treat BV, the recommended dose is one applicatorful (5 grams) of cream applied inside the vagina once daily, at bedtime, for either 3 or 7 consecutive nights. Using this medicine at bedtime reduces the chance of it leaking out during the day.

Here’s how to use Clindamycin vaginal cream:
	Wash your hands and dry thoroughly. Remove the cap from the tube of cream and screw one of the disposable applicators onto the end of the tube. Gently squeeze the bottom of the tube to fill the applicator until the marked line. Then, remove the tube and replace the cap. Lie on your back with your knees bent towards your chest.
	Gently insert the applicator into the vagina as far as possible without causing discomfort. Push on the plunger until it stops to release the cream into the vagina. Remove the applicator and throw it away. Wash your hands again after use.

If you forget a dose and are just a few hours late, use it right away. However, if it is nearly time for your next application, skip the missed dose and apply your next dose at your usual time. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

This medicine starts working as soon as you use the first dose. The peak concentration of the medication is reached approximately 10 hours after the dose. You should notice your symptoms improving within a few days of using this medicine and complete resolution within 7 days. However, if your infection worsens or symptoms don’t resolve, speak to your doctor.

Use this cream for 3 or 7 days in a row, depending on your doctor's instructions. Make sure to finish the entire treatment, even if you start feeling better before it’s done. If you stop early, the infection might not go away completely or could come back.
