chip_p replied: "Any time you get a pharmaceutical product, you can ask your pharmacist for patient information as well as the product insert (PI). The PI will have a detailed description of what the drug is and how it works along with possible side effects. The generic name for oral Cleocin is clindamycin. Here is a Boxed Warning on that product: Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including clindamycin, and may range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents. Then beyond the warning box there are these side effects. In newer drugs, they will list the clinical trial data with the rate at which these events happened in the registration study: The following reactions have been reported with the use of clindamycin. Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain, pseudomembranous colitis, esophagitis, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (see WARNING BOX). The onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after antibacterial treatment (see WARNINGS). Hypersensitivity Reactions: Generalized mild to moderate morbilliform-like (maculopapular) skin rashes are the most frequently reported adverse reactions. Vesiculobullous rashes, as well as urticaria, have been observed during drug therapy. Rare instances of erythema multiforme, some resembling Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and a few cases of anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported. Skin and Mucous Membranes: Pruritus, vaginitis, and rare instances of exfoliative dermatitis have been reported. (See Hypersensitivity Reactions.) Liver: Jaundice and abnormalities in liver function tests have been observed during clindamycin therapy. Renal: Although no direct relationship of clindamycin to renal damage has been established, renal dysfunction as evidenced by azotemia, oliguria, and/or proteinuria has been observed in rare instances. Hematopoietic: Transient neutropenia (leukopenia) and eosinophilia have been reported. Reports of agranulocytosis and thrombocytopenia have been made. No direct etiologic relationship to concurrent clindamycin therapy could be made in any of the foregoing. Musculoskeletal: Rare instances of polyarthritis have been reported."

Lauren (♥ Erin's mummy ♥) replied: "this is normal, there isnt really anywhere for it to go. enough of it will have been absorbed/coated enough to do the job but because there is too much inserted to be absorbed then it naturally has to come out. just think about when you have your period, that isnt absorbed by your body is it? the only place for it to go is out, also when you have intercourse, most of the semen comes back out hope this has helped a little x"
