Clindamycin is used to treat acne (pimples), a skin condition caused by the plugging of hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. Symptoms include blackheads, pus-filled pimples, and large/red bumps.
The active ingredient in Daclin 1% Lotion, Clindamycin, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which effectively stops bacterial growth. It exhibits a bacteriostatic effect, preventing the multiplication of bacteria.
Clindamycin is intended for external (skin) use only. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips, and mouth. Like all medications, Clindamycin may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include a burning sensation, itching, dryness, redness, oily skin, and peeling of the skin. Most of these side effects are mild and resolve on their own over time. If any side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
Before using Clindamycin, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components. It is also important to disclose any history of eczema, dermatitis (skin inflammation), inflammatory bowel disease, or antibiotic-associated colitis (colon inflammation). Avoid using Clindamycin on sunburnt, dry, or irritated skin. If you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, discuss with your doctor before using Clindamycin. This medication is not recommended for children below 12 years of age.
Interaction with alcohol is unknown. It is advisable to consult your doctor before consumption.

Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis by reversibly binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome, thereby blocking the transpeptidation or translocation reactions of susceptible organisms, resulting in stunted cell growth.
Daclin 1% Lotion contains clindamycin, a topical antibiotic. It is used to treat acne vulgaris, a common skin condition in teenagers characterized by inflammation, large, red, pus-filled pimples, and the formation of comedones when hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that effectively treats infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. Derived from lincomycin, it exhibits both antiacne and antibacterial properties. Clindamycin exerts its action by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting the early stages of protein synthesis. This mechanism of action makes it highly effective against a variety of bacteria, particularly gram-positive cocci and certain anaerobic bacteria.
