About Cleocin T

Overview

Cleocin T is a prescription skin treatment containing clindamycin phosphate, an antibacterial medicine. It is used to treat acne. Exactly how clindamycin works to treat acne is unknown. Because it can cause diarrhea, bloody diarrhea or serious bowel inflammation, the prescriber should consider whether another treatment is more appropriate.

What it treats

Acne vulgaris.
