WARNING: CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE-ASSOCIATED DIARRHEA (CDAD) and COLITIS

Boxed Warning section

Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.

Because Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection therapy has been associated with severe colitis which may end fatally, it should be reserved for serious infections where less toxic antimicrobial agents are inappropriate [see Indications and Usage (1)]. It should not be used in patients with nonbacterial infections such as most upper respiratory tract infections. C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.

If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

2.4 Directions for Use of Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection in GALAXY Plastic Container

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Premixed Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is for intravenous infusion using sterile equipment. Check for minute leaks prior to use by squeezing bag firmly. If leaks are found, discard solution as sterility may be impaired. Do NOT add supplementary medication. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit. Do NOT use unless solution is clear and seal is intact.

Do NOT use plastic containers in series connections. Such use could result in air embolism due to residual air being drawn from the primary container before administration of the fluid from the secondary container is complete.

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection should not be injected intravenously undiluted as a bolus, but should be infused over at least 10 minutes.

Preparation for Administration:

  1. Suspend container from eyelet support.
  2. Remove protector from outlet port at bottom of container.
  3. Attach administration set. Refer to complete directions accompanying set.

CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to preparations containing clindamycin or lincomycin.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION

5.1 Clostridioides difficile-Associated Diarrhea

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.

C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing isolates of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibacterial use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.

If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated [see Boxed Warning].

5.2 Anaphylactic and Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Anaphylactic shock and anaphylactic reactions have been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including acute myocardial ischemia with or without myocardial infarction, and severe skin reactions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), some with fatal outcome, have been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6)].

In case of such an anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reaction, discontinue treatment permanently and institute appropriate therapy.

A careful inquiry should be made concerning previous sensitivities to drugs and other allergens.

5.3 Nephrotoxicity

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin is potentially nephrotoxic and cases with acute kidney injury have been reported. Consider monitoring of renal function particularly in patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction or those taking concomitant nephrotoxic drugs. In case of acute kidney injury, discontinue Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection when no other etiology is identified [see Adverse Reactions (6)].

5.4 Diarrhea in Elderly Patients with Associated Severe Illness

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Elderly patients with associated severe illness may have a greater risk of developing adverse reactions from diarrhea. When clindamycin is indicated in these patients, they should be carefully monitored for change in bowel frequency [see Use in Specific Populations (8.5)].

5.5 Use in Patients with Gastrointestinal Disease

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection products should be avoided in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis.

5.6 Use in Atopic Individuals

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection should be avoided in atopic individuals.

5.7 Laboratory Tests: Monitoring to Assess Safety

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

During prolonged therapy periodic liver and kidney function tests and blood counts should be performed.

Clindamycin dosage modification is not necessary in patients with renal disease. In patients with moderate to severe liver disease, prolongation of clindamycin half-life has been found. However, it was postulated from studies that when given every eight hours, accumulation should rarely occur.
Therefore, dosage modification in patients with liver disease may not be necessary. However, periodic liver enzyme determinations should be made when treating patients with severe liver disease.

5.8 Overgrowth of Nonsusceptible Organisms

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

The use of Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms-particularly yeasts. If such infections occur, appropriate measures should be taken as indicated by the clinical situation.

5.9 Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Prescribing Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

The following serious adverse reactions to clindamycin are described below and elsewhere in the labeling:

The following adverse reactions associated with the use of clindamycin were identified in clinical trials or postmarketing reports. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency reliably, or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Infections and Infestations

Clostridioides difficile colitis

Gastrointestinal

Antibacterial drug-associated colitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)], pseudomembranous colitis, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after antibacterial treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. An unpleasant or metallic taste has been reported after intravenous administration of the higher doses of clindamycin phosphate.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

Maculopapular rash and urticaria have been observed during drug therapy. Generalized mild to moderate morbilliform-like skin rashes are the most frequently reported of all adverse reactions.

Severe skin reactions such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, some with fatal outcome, have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), erythema multiforme, some resembling Stevens-Johnson syndrome, have been associated with clindamycin. Anaphylactic shock, anaphylactic reaction, hypersensitivity, and acute myocardial ischemia with or without myocardial infarction occurring as part of an allergic reaction have also been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Cutaneous vasculitis and symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema have also been reported.

Skin and Mucous Membranes

Pruritus, vaginitis, angioedema and rare instances of exfoliative dermatitis have been reported [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Liver

Jaundice and abnormalities in liver function tests have been observed during clindamycin therapy.

Renal

Acute kidney injury [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

Hematopoietic

Transient neutropenia (leukopenia) and eosinophilia have been reported. Reports of agranulocytosis and thrombocytopenia have been made.

Immune System

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) cases have been reported.

Local Reactions

Thrombophlebitis has been reported after intravenous infusion. Avoid prolonged use of indwelling intravenous catheters.

Musculoskeletal

Polyarthritis cases have been reported.

Cardiovascular

Cardiopulmonary arrest and hypotension have been reported following too rapid intravenous administration [see Dosage and Administration (2)].

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION

7.1 Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, it should be avoided in patients receiving such agents.

7.2 Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Inhibitors of CYP3A4 and/or CYP3A5 may increase plasma concentrations of clindamycin [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Monitor for adverse reactions when strong CYP3A4 and/or CYP3A5 inhibitors are coadministered with clindamycin.

7.3 Inducers of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Inducers of CYP3A4 and/or CYP3A5 may reduce plasma concentrations of clindamycin. In the presence of strong CYP3A4 and/or CYP3A5 inducers such as rifampicin, monitor for loss of effectiveness.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION

8.1 Pregnancy

PREGNANCY SECTION

Risk Summary

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

In limited published clinical trials with pregnant women, the systemic administration of clindamycin during the second and third trimesters, has not been associated with an increased frequency of major birth defects.

The limited published data on use of clindamycin in pregnant women with exposure during the first trimester are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of pregnancy-related adverse outcomes [see Data]. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of any adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral or subcutaneous doses of clindamycin were administered to pregnant rats and mice during organogenesis at doses half to twice the highest clinically relevant dose based on body surface area comparison [see Data]. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Data

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Human Data

In limited published trials in pregnant women administered clindamycin during the first trimester of pregnancy, there was no difference in the rate of major birth defects reported among in utero exposed infants compared to unexposed infants. From these observational data, it is not possible to draw any conclusions on the rate of specific major birth defects associated with clindamycin. These data cannot definitely establish or exclude any clindamycin-associated risk during pregnancy.

Animal Data

Reproduction studies performed during organogenesis (gestational days 6-15) in pregnant rats and mice that were administered oral doses of clindamycin up to 600 mg/kg/day (twice or equivalent to the highest recommended adult human dose based on a body surface area comparison, respectively) or subcutaneous doses of clindamycin up to 250 mg/kg/day (equivalent to or half the highest recommended adult human dose based on a body surface area comparison, respectively) revealed no evidence of teratogenicity.

8.2 Lactation

LACTATION SECTION

Risk Summary

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin has been reported to appear in breast milk in the range of less than 0.5 to 3.8 mcg/mL at dosages of 150 mg orally to 600 mg intravenously. Clindamycin has the potential to cause adverse effects on the breastfed infant’s gastrointestinal flora.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for clindamycin and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from clindamycin or from the underlying maternal condition.

Clinical Considerations

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

If oral or intravenous clindamycin is required by a nursing mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but an alternate drug may be preferred. Monitor the infant for possible adverse effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea, candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash) or blood in the stool indicating possible antibacterial drug-associated colitis.

8.4 Pediatric Use

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria, infections due to susceptible isolates of streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci, lower respiratory tract Infections, skin and skin structure infections, gynecological infections, intra-abdominal infections, septicemia and bone and joint infections in pediatric patients for whom appropriate dosing with this formulation can be achieved [see Indications and Usage (1.1-1.8)] and Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

When Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is administered to the pediatric population (less than 1 month to 16 years old) appropriate dosing and monitoring of organ system functions is desirable. Because of the limitations of the available strengths and administration requirements (i.e., administration of fractional doses is not recommended) of Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection, and to avoid unintentional overdose, this product is not recommended for use if a dose of Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is required that does not equal 300 mg 600 mg or 900 mg is required and an alternative formulation of clindamycin should be considered [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].

The potential for the toxic effect in the pediatric population from chemicals that may leach from the single dose premixed Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection preparation in plastic has not been evaluated.

8.5 Geriatric Use

GERIATRIC USE SECTION

Clinical studies of clindamycin did not include sufficient numbers of patients age 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. However, other reported clinical experience indicates that antibacterial drug-associated colitis and diarrhea (due to Clostridioides difficile) seen in association with most antibacterial drugs occur more frequently in the elderly (>60 years) and may be more severe. These patients should be carefully monitored for the development of diarrhea.

Pharmacokinetic studies with clindamycin have shown no clinically important differences between young and elderly subjects with normal hepatic function and normal (age-adjusted) renal function after oral or intravenous administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

10 OVERDOSAGE

OVERDOSAGE SECTION

Significant mortality was observed in mice at an intravenous dose of 855 mg/kg (~3 times the human dose based on body surface area) and in rats at an oral or subcutaneous dose of approximately 2618 mg/kg (~18 times the human dose based on body surface area). In the mice, convulsions and depression were observed and in rats depression was observed prior to death.

Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are not effective in removing clindamycin from the serum.

11 DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection contains clindamycin phosphate, a water-soluble ester of clindamycin. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic antibacterial produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of the parent antibacterial lincomycin.

The chemical name of clindamycin phosphate is L-threo-α-D-galacto-Octopyranoside, methyl-7-chloro-6,7,8-trideoxy-6-[[(1-methyl-4-propyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)carbonyl]amino]01-thio-, 2-(dihydrogen phosphate), (2S-trans)-.

The molecular formula is C18H34CIN2O8PS and the molecular weight is 504.96.

The structural formula is represented below:

Clindamycin Structural Formula
Clindamycin Structural Formula

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is a clear, colorless and sterile solution for intravenous infusion available in three strengths, 300 mg/50 mL, 600 mg/50 mL, and 900 mg/50 mL, containing 300 mg, 600 mg or 900 mg clindamycin, respectively (as clindamycin phosphate, USP). Each 50 mL of all the strengths of Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection also contains, 450 mg of sodium chloride USP, 2 mg of edetate disodium dihydrate USP, and water for Injection USP. The pH is adjusted with sodium hydroxide and /or hydrochloric acid. Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is filled in GALAXY plastic container fabricated from a specially designed multilayer plastic. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period. The suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to the USP biological tests for plastic containers, as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

12.1 Mechanism of Action

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION

Clindamycin is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology (12.4)].

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION

Clindamycin phosphate is a water-soluble ester prodrug of clindamycin. Biologically inactive clindamycin phosphate is converted to active clindamycin. By the end of short-term intravenous infusion, peak serum concentrations of active clindamycin are reached.

After intramuscular injection of clindamycin phosphate, peak concentrations of active clindamycin are reached within 3 hours in adults and 1 hour in pediatric patients. Serum concentration-time curves may be constructed from intravenous peak serum concentrations by application of elimination half-lives described in the elimination section below.

Serum concentrations of clindamycin can be maintained above the in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations for most indicated organisms by administration of clindamycin phosphate every 8 to 12 hours in adults and every 6 to 8 hours in pediatric patients, or by continuous intravenous infusion. An equilibrium state is reached by the third dose.

Distribution

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

No significant concentrations of clindamycin are attained in the cerebrospinal fluid even in the presence of inflamed meninges.

Elimination

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent by CYP3A5, to the major metabolite clindamycin sulfoxide and minor metabolite N-desmethylclindamycin. Biologically inactive clindamycin phosphate disappears from the serum with 6 minutes of the average elimination half-life; however, the average serum elimination half-life of active clindamycin is about 3 hours in adults and 2.5 hours in pediatric patients.

Specific Populations

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Patients with Renal/Hepatic Impairment

The elimination half-life of clindamycin is increased slightly in patients with markedly reduced renal or hepatic function. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are not effective in removing clindamycin from the serum. Dosage schedules do not need to be modified in patients with renal or hepatic disease.

Geriatric Patients

Pharmacokinetic studies in elderly volunteers (61-79 years) and younger adults (18-39 years) indicate that age alone does not alter clindamycin pharmacokinetics (clearance, elimination half-life, volume of distribution, and area under the serum concentration-time curve) after intravenous administration of clindamycin phosphate. After oral administration of clindamycin hydrochloride, the average elimination half-life is increased to approximately 4.0 hours (range 3.4-5.1 h) in the elderly, compared to 3.2 hours (range 2.1-4.2 h) in younger adults. The extent of absorption, however, is not different between age groups and no dosage alteration is necessary for the elderly with normal hepatic function and normal (age-adjusted) renal function1.

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients with PMA ≤ 32 weeks, or > 32 to ≤ 40 weeks

Systemic clearance (CL) in premature infants increases with increases in bodyweight (kg) and post-menstrual age (PMA). The dosing regimens for pediatric patients ≤ 32 weeks PMA (5 mg/kg) and 32 to ≤ 40 weeks PMA (7 mg/kg), both administered intravenously every 8 hours, achieve exposures comparable to therapeutic exposures in adults (weighing 70 kg) administered clindamycin 600 mg every 8 hours (Table 4).

Obese Pediatric Patients Aged 2 to Less than 18 Years and Obese Adults Aged 18 to 20 Years

An analysis of pharmacokinetic data in obese pediatric patients aged 2 to less than 18 years and obese adults aged 18 to 20 years demonstrated that clindamycin clearance and volume of distribution, normalized by total body weight, are comparable regardless of obesity.

Drug Interaction Studies

In vitro studies indicate that clindamycin does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1 or CYP2D6 and only moderately inhibits CYP3A4.

12.4 Microbiology

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION

Mechanism of Action

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 23S RNA of the 50S subunit of the ribosome. Clindamycin is bacteriostatic.

Resistance

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Resistance to clindamycin is most often caused by modification of specific bases of the 23S ribosomal RNA. Cross-resistance between clindamycin and lincomycin is complete. Because the binding sites for these antibacterial drugs overlap, cross-resistance is sometimes observed among lincosamides, macrolides and streptogramin B. Macrolide-inducible resistance to clindamycin occurs in some isolates of macrolide-resistant bacteria. Macrolide-resistant isolates of staphylococci and beta-hemolytic streptococci should be screened for induction of clindamycin resistance using the D-zone test.

Antimicrobial Activity

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION

Clindamycin has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections [see Indications and Usage (1)].

  1. Aerobic bacteria
  2. Gram-positive bacteria
    Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates)
    Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible isolates)
    Streptococcus pyogenes
  3. Anaerobic bacteria
  4. Gram-positive bacteria
    Clostridium perfringens
    Peptostreptococcus anaerobius
    Gram-negative bacteria
    Fusobacterium necrophorum
    Fusobacterium nucleatum
    Prevotella melaninogenica

The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. At least 90 percent of the following bacteria exhibit an in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than or equal to the susceptible breakpoint for clindamycin against isolates of similar genus or organism group. However, the efficacy of clindamycin in treating clinical infections caused by these bacteria has not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION

Long term studies in animals have not been performed with clindamycin to evaluate carcinogenic potential. Genotoxicity tests performed included a rat micronucleus test and an Ames Salmonella reversion test. Both tests were negative.

Fertility studies in rats treated orally with up to 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.1 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2) revealed no effects on fertility or mating ability.

16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING

HOW SUPPLIED SECTION

Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is a clear, colorless and sterile solution for intravenous infusion. Each 50 mL of Clindamycin in Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection, 300 mg/50 mL, 600mg/50mL, and 900 mg/50 mL, contains 300 mg, 600 mg or 900 mg clindamycin, respectively (as clindamycin phosphate, USP) in 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection in single-dose GALAXY containers is available as follows:

2G3455

Twenty-four (24)-300 mg/50 mL containers

NDC 0338-9545-24

2G3456

Twenty-four (24)-600 mg/50 mL containers

NDC 0338-9549-24

2G3457

Twenty-four (24)-900 mg/50 mL containers

NDC 0338-9553-24

Exposure of pharmaceutical products, including clindamycin phosphate in sodium chloride, to heat should be minimized. It is recommended that GALAXY plastic containers be stored at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Avoid temperatures above 30°C.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS SECTION

C. difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD)

Advise patients that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterial drugs including Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection, that usually ends when the antibacterial is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibacterial drugs, including Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever) even as late as two or more months after having taken the last dose of the antibacterial drugs. If this occurs, contact physician as soon as possible [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Antibacterial Resistance

Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by Clindamycin Phosphate in Sodium Chloride Injection or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Lactation

Advise a woman to monitor the breastfed infant for diarrhea and bloody stools [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2)].
