Common Dosages

  • 1% topical gel, applied once or twice daily to the affected area.

Typical Dosing

  • The typical dosing is once daily or twice daily, applied as a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin. It is recommended to wash and dry the skin before applying the medication.

Who Shouldn't Take Clindagel?

  • Hypersensitivity to clindamycin or lincomycin.
  • A history of antibiotic-associated colitis or Crohn’s disease.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Use Clindagel exactly as prescribed, and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or broken skin.
