Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray is a compounded formulation of a topical antibiotic, specifically designed to combat a variety of bacterial infections. This liquid formulation is delivered in a spray form, intended for direct administration into the nasal cavity. It provides targeted local or systemic effects through the nostrils. It is also utilized in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and bacterial keratitis.

The active ingredient, Clindamycin, works by eliminating the bacteria responsible for the infection. The medication is available as a nasal spray, which is administered directly into the nose for optimal effect. The recommended dosage is one spray in each nostril twice daily, for a duration of up to 10 days. This ensures a comprehensive treatment of the infection while minimizing the risk of bacterial resistance.

Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray is generally well tolerated by most patients. However, some may experience side effects such as nasal irritation, burning, and stinging. It is crucial to note that this medication should not be used by individuals with a known history of hypersensitivity to clindamycin or lincomycin, as this could lead to severe allergic reactions.

If you have any questions or concerns about Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray or any other compounding medications, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to assist you with your medication needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray is a liquid antibiotic formulation, specifically designed for administration into the nasal cavity. It is primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the nose and sinuses. Clindamycin may interact with other medications, including antacids, iron supplements, and certain antibiotics. Therefore, it is crucial for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking before starting treatment with clindamycin.

Patients should also be aware of the potential side effects of clindamycin. This includes an increased risk of yeast infections. If any signs or symptoms of a yeast infection are experienced, such as itching, redness, or discharge, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider. Clindamycin may also increase the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Symptoms of this condition include severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. If any of these symptoms are experienced, patients should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Another potential side effect of clindamycin is an increased risk of photosensitivity. This means that the skin may become more sensitive to sunlight, leading to sunburn or skin rashes. Patients should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposed to sunlight to mitigate this risk. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray is a specially formulated antibiotic treatment designed for direct application into the nasal cavity. It is primarily used to combat bacterial infections within the nose and sinuses. The active ingredient, clindamycin, functions by eliminating the bacteria responsible for the infection. This is achieved by inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

The spray is absorbed by the mucous membranes within the nose and subsequently enters the bloodstream, ensuring targeted and efficient treatment. The Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray is user-friendly and can be administered up to four times daily. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided on the packaging and to continue using the spray for the entire duration of the treatment course, even if symptoms appear to improve.

If there is no noticeable improvement in symptoms after a few days, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider. Therefore, it should not be used as a treatment for conditions such as the common cold or flu.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the use of Clindamycin 1% Nasal Spray, please do not hesitate to seek professional advice. Remember, it's always important to use antibiotics responsibly to ensure their effectiveness and to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
