Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Xaciato Work?

Xaciato works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Clindamycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, which prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for their growth and survival. By stopping bacterial growth, Xaciato helps eliminate the infection and restore balance in the vaginal microbiome.

Common Dosages

  • Xaciato is supplied in a single-dose, pre-filled applicator containing 2% clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel. One full applicator (5 grams) is administered once daily.

Typical Dosing

  • Adults: One applicator full (5 grams of vaginal gel containing 2% clindamycin phosphate) is inserted into the vagina once daily, preferably at bedtime, for 7 consecutive days.
