What is clindamycin phosphate gel?

Clindamycin phosphate gel is a commonly used topical preparation in dermatology, with its main ingredient being a derivative of clindamycin. After application to the skin, the gel is hydrolyzed into clindamycin, which exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and reduces fatty acids on the skin surface, thereby playing an important role in treating acne and other skin conditions. Clindamycin phosphate gel is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory acne, effectively reducing both the number of Propionibacterium acnes and inflammatory lesions, and significantly improving patients' clinical symptoms. Before use, carefully read the instructions to ensure no allergic reaction to the medication, and follow medical advice for proper dosage. Note that this medication may cause adverse effects such as local skin dryness or contact dermatitis; if any abnormalities occur, seek medical attention promptly. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use the product with caution, and patients with specific medical histories should avoid its use.
