What is in clindamycin?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for clindamycin

Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that comes in a few different forms, each with its own set of ingredients. Below is a quick guide to what you’ll find in the most common preparations.

Form Active Ingredient Typical Excipients (placebo ingredients that help make the medicine usable) What they do
Oral tablet (e.g., 150 mg or 300 mg) or capsule Clindamycin phosphate (a water‑soluble pro‑drug that is converted in the body to clindamycin) • Lactose (or lactose‑free alternative) – binder and filler.
• Starch, corn starch, or magnesium stearate – lubricants.
• Colorants (e.g., FD&C yellow 5, FD&C blue 1) – give tablets a recognizable color.
• Citric acid or sodium citrate – pH adjuster.		 Keep the tablet stable and give it the right shape, texture, and color.
Oral solution (e.g., 2 mg/mL) Clindamycin hydrochloride • Water (solvent).
• Sodium chloride – adjusts osmolarity.
• Glycerin or propylene glycol – humectant, keeps solution from drying.
• Phenoxyethanol or sodium benzoate – preservative to keep the solution safe for multiple doses.
• Flavor (usually a mild fruit or mint) – makes it easier to swallow, especially for kids.
• Citric acid or sodium citrate – pH adjustment.		 Keeps the drug in solution, ensures it stays safe to use over time, and makes it pleasant to take.
Topical gel or cream (e.g., 1 % clindamycin) Clindamycin phosphate • Water or hydro‑gel base.
• Glycerin – moisturizer.
• Carbomer or hydroxypropyl‑methyl‑cellulose – thickening agent.
• Sodium hydroxide – to adjust pH.
• Preservatives (e.g., methylparaben or propylparaben).
• Fragrance (optional) – for a pleasant scent.		 Creates a stable, easy‑to‑apply topical product that delivers the drug to skin or mucous membranes.
Injectable solution Clindamycin phosphate (or clindamycin hydrochloride for IV) • Sterile water.
• Sodium chloride – saline.
• Citric acid or sodium citrate – to keep the solution at the right pH.
• Preservatives are usually not added to IV solutions (they’re avoided in parenteral products).		 Keeps the drug ready for injection in a sterile, safe form.
