Is Clindamycin safe for post kidney transplant patients?
Hello everyone,
I've been having consistent fevers for about 5 days now, with the highest running at 100.5 so I went to the ER.
They believed it might be a possible infection on my incision being the cause.
I was prescribed:
Clindamycin 150 mg
3 pills × 3 times a day
For seven days
Does this seem excessive? This was prescribed to me by an ER doctor who I don't believe works with kidneys.
Isn't Clindamycin bad for kidneys and can lead to acute kidney failure even if gfr is well now?
Doesn't it affect immunosuppressant medication?
As a newly transplanted patient, I'm very scared.
Can you please tell me if this is common, and your own experiences with being prescribed this medication post transplant?
Thanks all.
