Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Clindacin ETZ Work?
Clindacin ETZ works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes. This action prevents the growth of bacteria responsible for acne, reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of new acne lesions. The topical application helps to target acne directly on the skin without systemic absorption in most cases.
What is Clindacin ETZ Used For?
- Topical Solution: 1% clindamycin phosphate
- Topical Gel: 1% clindamycin phosphate
Typical Dosing
- For acne: Apply a thin layer of Clindacin ETZ to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on your healthcare provider’s recommendation. Wash and dry the skin before application to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.
Typical Dosing
Who Shouldn't Take Clindacin ETZ?
- Known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincomycin, or any components of the formulation
- History of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Clindacin ETZ to clean, dry skin and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- If you experience dryness or irritation, use a gentle, oil-free moisturizer to maintain skin hydration.
- Avoid using other acne treatments or exfoliating products unless advised by your healthcare provider, as this may increase the risk of irritation.
- Be consistent with your application, as it may take several weeks to notice an improvement in your acne.

Risks and Warnings of Clindacin ETZ
- Diarrhea and Colitis: Though rare, systemic absorption of clindamycin from topical use can lead to severe diarrhea or colitis. If you experience persistent or severe diarrhea, stop using Clindacin ETZ and contact your healthcare provider.
- Photosensitivity: Clindacin ETZ may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn. Use sunscreen and protective clothing when exposed to the sun, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
