Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Klaron Work?

Clindamycin phosphate works by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis. This action reduces the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria primarily responsible for acne, and helps to decrease inflammation associated with acne lesions. By targeting the bacteria and reducing inflammation, Klaron helps clear existing acne and prevent future outbreaks.

Common Dosages

  • 1% clindamycin phosphate topical solution or gel.

The usual application is:

  • Once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the healthcare provider's instructions.

Typical Dosing

  • For acne vulgaris: Apply a thin layer of Klaron to the affected areas of the skin once or twice daily after cleansing. Gently rub it in until fully absorbed.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Topical treatment of acne vulgaris.

Who Shouldn't Take Klaron?

  • Hypersensitivity or allergy to clindamycin, lincomycin, or any components of the formulation.
  • History of colitis, particularly antibiotic-associated colitis.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Apply Klaron as directed: Follow your healthcare provider's instructions on dosage and frequency. Avoid applying more than prescribed to prevent irritation.
  • Wash hands before and after application to avoid transferring the medication to sensitive areas (such as eyes or mouth).
  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Monitor for skin irritation: If excessive redness, peeling, or irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of application or discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
  • Store Klaron at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children.

Side Effects of Klaron

Common Side Effects

  • Dry skin
  • Itching
  • Redness
  • Peeling or flaking of the skin

Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling)
  • Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, which can occur with antibiotic use and requires medical attention.

Risks and Warnings of Klaron

  • Colitis: Use of Klaron may lead to antibiotic-associated colitis. Patients should be aware of symptoms such as severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, or blood in the stool and seek medical attention if these occur.
  • Skin Irritation: Prolonged use can cause irritation. If severe skin reactions develop, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.
  • Not for Oral Use: Klaron is for topical use only and should not be ingested.

Interactions with Klaron

Common Drug Interactions

  • Klaron is generally considered safe to use with other topical medications; however, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all other topical treatments you are using to avoid potential interactions. There are no significant systemic interactions since it is applied topically.

  • Benzoyl peroxide: An over-the-counter topical treatment commonly used for acne.
  • Salicylic acid: Another OTC option that helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores.
  • Oral antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline, doxycycline): Used in more severe cases of acne that do not respond to topical treatments.
