workings
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and prevents the formation of peptide bonds, thereby halting bacterial growth and replication. Clindamycin is effective against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria, including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and anaerobes, as well as some gram-negative bacteria. The recommended dosage for clindamycin is 300 mg per 2 ml, which is usually administered intravenously or intramuscularly. The duration of treatment and frequency of administration will depend on the specific infection being treated and the patient's response to the medication.
