Medicine Overview of Daclin Lotion 10mg/ml Lotion
Daclin Lotion is an antibiotic that fights bacteria. It is used to treat acne, which appears as spots or pimples on your face, chest or back. This medicine works by attacking the bacteria that cause these pimples.
Daclin Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. It should not be applied to broken or damaged skin. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. Do not stop using it as soon as your acne starts to get better. Ask your doctor when you should stop treatment.
Common side effects like minor itching, burning, or redness of the skin and oily skin may be seen in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
It is a safe medicine, but you should inform your doctor if you have any problems with your bowels (intestines). Also, inform the doctor if you have ever had bloody diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics or if you are using any other medicines to treat skin conditions. Consult your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Pregnancy
In clinical trials with pregnant women, systemic administration of clindamycin during second and third trimesters has not been associated with increased frequency of congenital abnormalities; there are no adequate studies in pregnant women during first trimester of pregnancy; clindamycin should be used during first trimester of pregnancy only if clearly needed
Lactation
Not known whether clindamycin is excreted in human milk following therapy; however, orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been reported to appear in breast milk; clindamycin has potential to cause adverse effects on breastfed infant’s gastrointestinal flora; 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 infant for possible adverse effects on gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea, candidiasis (thrush, diaper rash) or rarely, blood in the stool indicating possible antibiotic-associated colitis
Developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for clindamycin and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from clindamycin or from underlying maternal condition
