Hi all,

I was prescribed with clindamycin to take on every 6 hours, each dosage is 450mg. I'm in my week 12 now.

As this antibiotic was short of advised from KKH pharmacist, so I am not very comfortable. Concern on if the dosage too high? I pick up the medicine from the pharmacy only after a week from the doctor visit. So I have no chance to speak to the doctor , but only to pick up medicine from the pharmacy.

Initially I was given a lower dosage, but the pharmacist told me that I should be given higher dosage and she will check with the doctor whom I visited in the UO&G and then I was prescribed with a higher dosage of 450mg and to be taken every 6hours. Total need to take 84 tabs for 7 days. The pharmacist is very nice, provide me a lot info like it must be taken to prevent miscarriage and bacteria cannot go away by itself without any antibiotics. After all the advises and change of dosage for me, she gave me a feedback form to fill and compliment on her service. This is where I began to feel not so comfortable on the change to higher dosage and the intend of friendly and helpfulness.

Any ladies here took this medicine before? At what dosage and how is the side effects? I understand everybody is different but would like to know the experiences from other users too.

Thank you.
 
I think it depends on your condition. I was prescribed 300mg for 7 days on 3 separate occasions as my infections kept coming back becoz I was on progesterone suppositories. My discharge did clear up after the antibiotics.
 
Hi water16, thanks for your sharing.

May I know your 300mg, it is for each dosage and at how many hours interval?

Mine for one day at 24hr will be 450 x 4 = 1800mg.

Also I don't have any unusual discharge nor uncomfort. But test result shown I got infection, ok I accepted it and will definately want to get it treated too.

My main concern is if the dosage too high and will it cause any long term harm to baby.

My monthly gyne visit at kkh is still 1 week away...
